Version 10 is a rolling edition which is continuously updated, so even early version of Windows 10 without updates are unsafe to use. Whatever our opinions of this situation may be, '''versions of Windows previous to v.10 are not safe to use on the public internet.''' We cannot support use of Windows previous to v.10. If you have an application that only runs on an earlier version be sure to lock it down from access outside of your network.
