If your laptop can handle it and you have the budget, you really should consider updating to Windows 10. It is a lot more secure, especially since Microsoft is no longer updating Windows 7 security. With a bit of tweaking, Windows 10 can be made to look a lot like Windows 7 so the interface doesn’t present a wall of unfamiliarity.
Just a serving suggestion from a retired I.T. nerd. If nothing else, be sure your security software is updated on a regular basis.
laptop is over 10 years old, and it would make more sense to buy a new one with new windows, than to buy updated windows for an ancient laptop.
money isn’t really an issue, i don’t mind spending money when it’s an investment for something i’ll use every day.
i only use it to watch youtube, and i run uBlock, so security isn’t a massive concern. (ads are the only place it would catch anything nasty)
i manage my life from my desktop pc.

Edit: I am going to see my Aunt this week for the first in in over a year. It is partly to just see her and partly just to hug her after coming out that I am transitioning to being a woman. I am a bit nervous but talking with my cousin last week they are very accepting, more then I knew.
They were there for a friend of another one of my cousins when their family almost abandoned them for being LGBT themselves.
Sounds promising at least
Posting for no real reason, I just liked the picture.
It’s Fancy.
I can’t wait for the new Dragonball Z movie next year! Going to see Demon Slayer movie Friday. Anyone else here an anime person?
Anyone seen the newest trailer for Venom 2: Let there be Carnage. It looks really goofy.
I have not but I was hoping for Carnage after I saw the end preview for the original Venom.
I am feeling a bit better than this morning so I think I am going to have an Eat Me cookie.

Speaking of anime, JoJo Stone Ocean has been announced!
Ugh after the last beta wave invite LFG chat went to the pits.
it looks like the people who regretted getting the 6 month sub have finally moved on.
(thankfully)
the constant spammy doom-and-gloom threads seem to have backed right off.
forum is starting to return to its pre-expansion launch rate of doom-and-gloom. 
I will just leave a special drink for the doom and gloom threads.
Fill up your gas tanks folks, situation escalating quickly in the background 
Price hikes will probably spread, already reading reports of people panic-buying as a precaution.
“Question… Bloodstone is Red and Green. Think it will be okay to add them to my Project?”
I got a buff that makes me look rather demonic on the beta.
