I have a win7 desktop and turned off updates on that years ago because the updates kept stuffing up other programs, my win8 laptop had the updates turned of when I got it a couple of years ago and still functions like new, I think that there are some 300 odd critical updates pending on that one. If you don’t get hundreds of emails and stay away from dubious websites I think that the chances of getting hacked are pretty slim.
