Don't do anything...
End of support means no more patching. That's a blessing in disguise ;-) These days MS patching does 10x more damage than actual viruses or hackers. Keep using your old laptop until it's dead, use a decent antivirus and common sense, you'll be fine... and then your next PC will come with a new OS anyway.
I deploy software/patching/do sysadmin stuff for hospitals for a living, and let me tell you Microsoft's testing on their patches is *abysmal*, and has been so for about 2 years. We skip more than we apply because otherwise we'd blue screen tons of machines and kill patients (apparently doctors cannot practice medicine without a computer anymore ;-) !
