Question A scared question but I have to ask...

[Guy_who_thinks_hes_cool]

ok, so I have small lenovo mini pc, its got upgraded storage with ssd and 32gb ram etc etc

and its running on windows 10, ( I cant upgrade it to windows 11 because the CPU on it is just too old) so it wouldnt allow me

and I only use it for basic stuff, banking, facebook, youtube, emails, and I never use it to visit sketchy or adult websites.


now here's my question, I know windows 10 will stop received updates this october

"should I be worried or at risk from attacks if I continue using this pc until the next year or so?"
