I have a Windows 7 Professional system with my startup's software in some boxes and, since now my office is functional enough, am about to get that system powered up and running again.
So, here's a piece of information relevant to security and versions of Windows, I'd like to give exact and really clear references instead of working just from memory, but for such references just now I'd have to do a lot of digging.
From memory, I discovered that one of the security updates to Windows 7 Professional, as I recall, the last one,
was the same as for a version of Windows Server.
So I guess: Since that version of Windows Server was intended for some of the most serious business computing on the planet, that security update should be pretty good, maybe good enough to be pretty good now!
I've been intending to use Windows 7 Professional as my server for my startup, but ... I'm also considering some version of Windows Server. I do notice that it appears that the versions of Windows Server go much longer, years longer, before "end of life" or "end of support" than the versions of Windows not Windows Server.
So, I'm considering getting a version of Windows Server 2019. I've done the shopping and am intending to buy.
Also I'm thinking of using my computer with Windows 7 Professional as my general purpose and software development computer (it is where I wrote the 100,000 lines of code for my startup) and plug together a new computer for the server for the Web site, etc. That computer would run Windows Server 2019.
I would like to know more about Windows Server, e.g., version 2019, as in
