What does it mean if my version of Windows is no longer supported?

An unsupported version of Windows will no longer receive software updates from Windows Update. These include security updates that can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, which can steal your personal information...

Also keep in mind that as with previous outdated operating systems, many software programs will eventually become incompatible as vendors continue to update their products to work with newer Windows versions. This includes major anti-virus and security vendors which at some point will stop providing support to older Windows operating systems.
