This is the end of main stream support and then it goes into Extended support - it isn’t the end of the world again.
Microsoft continues to provide a period (also often five years) of extended support, which means users get free security fixes but other types of updates are paid and require specific licensing deals.
MS XP ended extended support in April 2014, but the world hasn’t stopped turning and it certainly won’t stop with the end of main stream support for win7.
