Microsoft's obligatory upgrade to pump up their bottom line. No other good reason for it.

Thank God I am getting older and will not have to deal with this BS much longer.

Well to be fair the Windows 7 Extended support (which is the relevant one here) is still on for another five years:

But if you like Windows 7, you probably don't really need new service packs, and you certainly don't want a redesigned user interface. As long as Microsoft patches vulnerabilities that could become security risks, Windows 7 remains a safe operating system.

Microsoft doesn't plan to stop fixing security problems in Windows 7 until extended support ends. That's January 14, 2020--five years and a day from the end of mainstream support.

HERE's the old article my quote is from.
