Once updates end in October, Windows 10 won't be secure and probably shouldn't be allowed to connect to the internet. It will still continue to function though. You can buy a year of extended support for Windows 10 for $30, but it's unclear whether there will be support after that.
Probably best to start switching to something else, or plan to run that PC offline.
That seems silly to be running offline. There are some businesses that still run windows 98. So why would windows 10 suddenly be way off worse ?
Yeah our shop still uses windows 7 PCs connected to the internet
