Wait you got Office 2016 running on Vista?

Not yet, but @WinFX got Office 2013 working (sort of) [see here]. and has a guide for it here.

after esu ends I might just move to windows 10 for 3 more years (support ends in 2025) and after that move to windows 11 I don't really mind windows 10 now with enough tweaking and fixing up it works really well for what I need

I'm not worried about ending support. My computer is behind a NAT, there is a firewall in front of it, and there is a firewall on the computer itself. I have already solved the problem with the end of support for browsers, too. My computer is powerful enough to run in the background in a Win 10/11 virtual machine, and the browser can be displayed on the desktop host in Unity mode, it supports VBox and VmWare.

Good news! The following chart has Windows Embedded POSReady 7 with support up to October 8, 2024. This means if a hack is found to make this edition's updates work for others (the same like enabling ESU in the 1st place), it'll be OK. That's what I am proposing to do alternatively for this year: Instead of switching the OS in light of ending usual ESU, circumvent to extend further. Unfortunately I do not know "how?" at the moment.

the post above is breaking rule 1 of the forum it mentions bypassing esu updates which is wares and also has nothing to do with the topic of this post

the best way to get updates going forward is by installing the normal updates that everyone got up to 2020 that's the right way to do it
