Newer hardware is not guaranteed to run Windows 8 or 7. That's all. If you like Windows 7 or 8.1, Microsoft is not forcing you to upgrade. 'Encouraging', yes.

Security updates will continue to come until January 14, 2020. And they're going to know long before that date approaches how many machines are going to be at risk. They can always push that date out.
