What will happen after January 14, will I still be able to use Win 7 after that date. I don't want to upgrade to Win 10 as I believe it has privacy issues which I don't like.

One thing I forgot to mention regarding privacy issues, I never do any on line banking or financial transactions so I'm not bothered in that respect. Thank you for that information. 

From what little I've read about this on the Internet, it appears that there is not much choice for anybody other than to switch over to Windows 10. So far, I have not seen anybody that is offering to support Windows 7 after Microsoft is going to DROP support for it. I guess it has to be that way because it is a copyrighted product and there is no provision for other people to take it on Windows 7 support.

Now I would imagine that Microsoft would not consider selling Windows 7 to anybody for any about of money.  No way.

Here is a link from Consumer Reports. Like almost everybody, they also are SAYING you have to make the switch if you want to be safe.

Maybe we should all goto Apple?  Thank you Geek-9pm.

I had a look at the article you referred me to and was assured that I can still use Windows 7.  I've tried Windows 10 and apart from the privacy issues I've already mentioned I just didn't like it. I'm happy with Win 7. And I guess there are others out there who are just as happy with it as I am.

OK, Here I am again. 

There might be two or maybe three things you could try that will work for you other than switching all the way over to Windows 10.
The most obvious thing is to not use Windows 7 to connect to the Internet. Instead, use your portable device such as a android or Apple tablet or phone. Bear in mind that Windows 7 is a Microsoft product and it has no impact at all on the computers run by the Apple operating system for the android operating system. If you have a smart phone, likely it is an android and the android system is maintained by Google. Okay?
But what if you really want to hook your computer to the Internet and still have Windows 7? Well, there is a way to do that. You can run Windows 7 inside of Windows 10 using a virtual machine. It would make sense to me that if Windows 10 is protecting you from the viruses and malware and Windows 7 is running inside of Windows 10, then it is not very likely that spyware or Malware  would harm the Windows 7 installation. Though that would be one way to work around it and some people actually do that. It spends on the power of your computer because a virtual machine kind of slows things down because you actually have two operating systems running one inside the other.
Now then, one last idea. Go ahead and install Windows 10 and make it do the things it has to do and then create a new user account. Maybe even to user accounts. Not for one of those accounts you're going to change some of the settings that can be done under personalization. Some where  I read that one user did it ans was able to change so many things in the settings that you would end up with a computer that acts and looks like Windows 7. But anytime you need to go back to the Windows 10 look and feel, you can just switch back to one of the other user accounts. Having different user accounts is one neat way to experiment with different things without losing everything.
Off the top of my HEAD I can't remember the link about the fella that did that. Maybe somebody else remembers that idea of making Windows 10 look like Windows 7.

That's all I have for now. 
Hi
There are tools to make Windows 10 look like windows 7 like CLASSIC shell from here  http://www.classicshell.net/downloads/

I'm advising my clients with computers which are still reliable, to do the upgrade to 10 on a copy of their hard drive to take advantage of the free activation at the moment.  On some without a SSD drives I image their old drive to an SSD then check it boots then update Windows on the old drive to windows 10 and check it activates. Then their Windows 7 runs faster on the SSD and should Windows 7 get unmanageable then they can just image the Windows 10 drive to the SSD.

You Tube also has videos.
