you'll most likely be fine, there still exists people who use Windows 7 for that workflow. You have to be more aware of vulnerabilities that could be found on your operating system though; and over time more and more software might drop support for your OS (realistically, this will be more noticable when Windows 12-13 gets released) so you might not be able to use latest Office version's features.

Thank you. I'm retired, and unlikely to upgrade Office. Ver 2016 still does exactly what I need to do.

I'll keep my router secured, my firewall updated as long as it will, and anti virus /malware up to date.
