I am considering my options given the loss of support of Win 7 pro here as well, but I use it only in VirtualBox. I have an option to simply isolate it from the internet and handle any transfers it requires in the host system and making the downloads available via shared directory. Is it simple and cheap enough to update W7pro to W8.1 and make it usable as you have? Or should I go ahead and isolate w7pro once it is unsupported as I am currently considering?
