    Can't install KB5014806. Keep getting error code 66A. I have tried V9, V11 and the standalone V5.

    Agree. The only real things I'd be concerned about is the browser and the anti-virus. Any other software can stay at the old versions for all I care as long as the hardware lasts.

    I seem to remember Firefox supporting XP for 4 or 5 years after it ended. Don't know if that would be the case in the future.

    Microsoft has been doing things quietly lately and without much fanfare. They added a Windows 10 22h2 enablement package in the latest preview release and I installed that getting ready for Windows 7 demise but few know about it yet. So another extension of Win7 is very possible and I hope very true. Much prefer it to Windows 10.

    IF Win7 gets extended Microsoft will probably keep supporting Edge on it. Better than nothing considering I'm a Firefox user. At the very least Firefox 102esr is supported until July of next year and most likely the next esr through 2024 as so far no signs they're cutting support for it in the nightlies.

    Office, such as 2016 editions, will Microsoft extend support until the next 3 years for Windows 7?

    Thanks, it's my suspicion. I am very surprised that Microsoft has extended support for Windows 7.

    False positive. Virus scanners like to tag KMS tools as virus, probably on request of Microsoft. While that will not impress the nerd folks, it likely scares the casual users away. This principle is called FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt).
