> windows 7 is out of support

Windows 7 is not out of support. It is out of mainstream support which means Microsoft develops and releases no new features for it. Windows 7 is in Extended support until 2020, which means it continues to get security patches, which is really all anyone cares about.

Exactly. And Windows 8 will have extended support until 2023.
