Don't panic. Do some research. Many of the IT sites are recommending home computers just not worry about it.
thanks! This is exactly what I was going to say. You will no longer get updates and "fixes", you know the ones that can screw up your system and have to be fixed. Unfortunately, for me, I need a new computer and I do not like the new operating systems.
