    No OS is safe, because within millions of lines of code, it is bound to have some vulnerabilities that can be exploited.

    But what is absolutely unsafe, is an unsupported OS, where the vulnerabilities that are found are not solved/patched

      I agree, all I ask is you show me one in Windows 7. Send me a URL that when I click it my bank account is emptied immediately.

      All these threats people see are always something you actively install or are involved in, or some sort of social engineering scam. Even Windows 17 can’t help you with that.
