    you can safely use Windows 10 PCs connected to the internet for the next decade.

    Do not, absolutely do not, hook an OS that is no longer receiving security updates to the internet. Out-of-date machines can get pwned simply by being on a network or loading a website’s ad, no user interaction required. Vulnerabilities are discovered, never patched, and thereafter every script kiddy can get into the old machines with little effort.

      Nice of you to cut off the context that sentence was given in.

      You’re also very wrong too. Windows 8 and earlier are fine to connect to the Internet.
