With Win7 support ending on Jan 14,2020
how will that affect my computer's not
being able download security updates etc.?


Simple common sense. Your computer won't be protected with any new
attacks and you may not know this but there will be many such attacks
because hackers know that there are many people like you who can't or
won't upgrade or buy a new machine so these people are the best to target.

Your computer will continue to run as before but I guess somebody told
you that you won't be able to switch on the machine because the support
has run out!! . this is not correct. Just continue using the machine
until somebody steals your bank details and wipes it clean before you
realise what has happened. Alternatively, you could wipe the disk clean
and install a new operating system which has been around for the last 50
years but nobody seems to be using it. It is called Linux and 500 super
computers in the world use it so you can be 501st person on the list.
New Windows requires lots of common sense and intelligence and you don't
want to get involved with it. Let the young people use it.

Good luck and happy computing.
