Question about windows 7 extended support and updates
So I have question that bothered me for few years so I thought I should finally ask it and hopefully will get answer for it.
I know that win7 support was over and that it now on it last years of extended support, However since I only used windows 98, xp, and 7, in my life I never really bothered to check how the old OS's (in this case win xp) update functions is working once the support is over, Ever since win 7 (and maybe vista?) MS made windows update app do more than just finding OS's updates for us and also looked for hardware drivers and such, which made my life really easier when it come to find drivers.
So my question is, after MS's support is over, will we still be able to download the old updates they made for their OS? and will be still be able to use Windows update in order to update/find drivers for our devices and hardware?
(Yea I aware that we can find most updates one by one if will look but it hard and I don't sure that MS will keep them on their site once the support is over...)
Or once they close their door windows update will cease to function?
I really prefer win7 over win8 and 10 which seem to me like some random unfinished work with many disadvantages (at least for me), and for once willing to stick with old OS till true successor will come
