    I'd not waste time and learn how to image.
    If Windows 7 gets malware, the easiest way to fix it after January 2020 is to restore the last image with all the patches.

    I was thinking the same thing. Is it safe to run windows 7 after the last day of support. I have got a good antivirus installed with malwarebytes - secondary scans are hitmanPro and Zemana Antimalware.

    When I read this again,
    it doesn't read the way I want it to.
    Let me emphasize Learn how to image, now!

    It sort of sounded like I was saying learning to image was a waste of time. That's not what I meant.

    We'll run our windows 7 computers and if malware attacks, I'll restore an image.
