I guess you meant 8.1 here, and corresponding server release 2012 R2.
These will come to the end of their "extended" support phase in 2023,
before PG16 comes out. If I understand correctly (and I'm not a
Windows user, I just googled this), they will start showing blue
full-screen danger-Will-Robinson alerts about viruses and malware.
Why would we have explicit support for that in a new release? Do we
want people putting their users' data in such a system? Can you go to
GDPR jail for that in Europe? (Joking, I think).
We should go full Marie Kondo on EOL'd OSes that are not in our CI or
build farm, IMHO.
