Support already ended.

You get hotfixes until extended (paid for) support ends, which I think is 2019. Of course, you'll get no new features, so pragmatically, you've got until Mozilla and Google stop supporting Windows 7 and your browser becomes obsolete.

Other thing, hubby says he'd rather change sooner than later due to how much it would eventually cost.

I say...I hate to be forced into anything. pffffffffttttttttt

If I can remember it, a blog* mentioned that Win7 still has 5 more years of support, while 8/8.1 has 7-8 years more til support ends ( give or take )

*sorry, I forgot to bookmark that for reference

Until then, yes -- Win7 is, as much as I'll agree to the 'collective hive mind': the "New XP"

...and now it's off for me to go and learn Red Hat

While I'd secretly like everyone who isn't me to use Red Hat because, frankly, without them Linux would be a mess, Red Hat isn't free. Fedora is the community edition for normal users.
