"If" Microsoft cuts off support of W7 in 4 years, then your W7 system will not receive their patches, security and otherwise. The "otherwise" may not be a big deal but the security patches might be over time. You could always disconnect from the Internet if you have applications that don't require it. All of this may become moot if Microsoft has the same issue with W7 as they had with phasing out XP, hence the "If" at the beginning.
