I suppose this "update" kills Windows on the specified date?

Lol



I'm not downloading it. I already know about April 8. I just don't
know if it will do something that it doesn't tell you about in the
discription.


Yes, it does seem odd that they would release an "update" whose sole
purpose was/is to pop up a popup, as it were.

So if support ends April 8, should I just turn off automatic updates on
April 7th?

I'm afraid to turn them off earlier, because there will be something
important and I'll forget to dl until after the 8th and then maybe it
won't let me?????


They haven't said they won't, but they haven't given any hint that they
will turn off the update servers: all they've definitely said is that
they won't _create_ any more updates.
