But why would you want to.

I'll stick with Win7 until it sinks into the swamp.  Non-support is a non-reason to leave it...

I agree that initially it won't be compelling, but eventually reasons will arise.  If for instance Google or Mozilla stop stop supporting browser upgrades on 7 I would see that as a real problem.  I also just recently discovered that Internet Explorer 11 - the latest version available for 7 - is no longer supported on Yahoo Mail.  This will only get worse over time.

Yeah, there will likely be issues with Win 7 after support ends, but it won't worry me too much.  I will mostly be using my machine for various older games on the 65" TV.  However, I will use it to browse the net while support remains.  After that I will re-evaluate, the risks and disadvantages, and take it from there.  If it's too risky, I'll just use it for the games and as a media hub for the music and DVDs/Blurays I have collected over the years.
