Abandoned

Years ago I was using Windows XL. I got an email telling me Microsoft no longer would send updates to that model. Tech people warned me not to use it for security's sake.
I had to upgrade to Windows 10 on a new laptop because downloading it onto Windows XL would cause my computer to crash, my garage to be set aflame and my water pipes to burst.
Now the same message has been sent to owners of Windows 7, but at least 10 can be safely downloaded onto that system.
Sometimes I hear a mournful whirring coming from my closet where I store Windows XL. It feels abandoned and I can't blame it.Change can be heartbreaking.
