What are you talking about???
Someone shot at you? An auto mechanic....? You seem about as boring a guy as there ever was....
Besides, what does it have to do with IT?

I am no expert in the HIPA arena, but it sounded like a Sales Pitch to sell some new equipment. That is why I posted here. Seems there are some well experienced IT guys here.
Actually, the easiest way to upgrade would be to go to microsoft's website and upgrade to windows 10 from there. So it depends on how your daughter's office IT wanted to do it. Using windows 7 installation discs or downloading windows 10 installation media from the microsoft website would be "clean" installs of windows 10. These would require a backup of all info on the pc prior to installation, then reinstalling all the backed up info.
Upgrading directly from microsofts website should save all info already on the pc, it would just change the OS to 10. Easier, but occasionally errors can occur. Could depend on any specific medical software used on the pc's.

As stated previously I have been in the healthcare industry for 37 years. The requirement for the computers in the OP posts is that they can protect the patient sensitive information on them. Old versions of software required you to log into the computer but did not time out locking the computer if sitting idle and unattended and allowed an unauthorized user to walk by and view all information on that computer. Ask your daughter if her computer requires her to constantly relogin if she doesn't use for greater than say 5 minutes. If it doesn't then that it is the issue that requires the upgrade.

It also runs a little deeper than just the OS - a new OS will come with and supports new versions of software, especially web browsers which in turn support newer (more secure/unbroken crypto) security methods. It's a lot easier to crack the older versions of software, web browsers doubly so because it's open to a whole variety of outside attack vectors.

One of the more recent problems for me at work has been to disable SSLv3 and TLS1.0 for the websites that we offer, this causes Grandma's old computer to no longer be able to access those sites because her old web browser doesn't do TLS1.2.

If Grandma's grandson would update her computer occasionally she'd have a newer browser that can support the new protocols and she wouldn't be complaining to customer support who complains to me (often via my boss).

So back to the OP - I don't think it's anything new that MS wants everyone to upgrade. Yeah, there's money involved one way or another, so it isn't completely innocent, but keeping ne'er-do-wells out is vital so it isn't exactly a money grubbing scam either. I've heard the argument, "well this is an office machine and the web browser is never used." Don't you believe it! An awful lot of software is now web-browser based. For me, on my work computer, I will have half a dozen web tabs open to Office365, the load balancer, the firewall, the WPEngine console (I HATE word press), VMware vCenter, and more.

Bolting on security is not as effective as baking it in and even MS has become more security conscience in recent years so I'd say it's prudent to stay as current as possible.

That's my two cents. (Darn well all it's worth too!)

Thanks for all the responses. Will pass this on and let them (Dr's office) decide the course they want to pursue.

Under the HIPAA Security Rule, 45 C.F.R. § 164.308 (a)(5)(ii)(B), organizations must implement procedures for detecting, guarding against, and reporting malicious software. If you’re using software that is no longer supported by Microsoft, you are not HIPAA compliant.

Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 on January 13, 2015, but extended support won’t end until January 14, 2020.

Once an operating system enters extended support, it's still very safe to use. It means that Microsoft will continue to patch any security threats but won't add any new features (as it would do during the 'mainstream support' phase).

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
