To be honest, Windows 7 is best Windows for me but no existing applications can be used on it. So I hope I can use Windows 10 until game compatibility on Linux passes the threshold I’m looking for :)
Two years ago I quit a company that was using a database (with sensitive user PII like social security numbers in the db) accessible via unencrypted TELNET. Not SSH, TELNET. I’m not fucking shitting you.
I worked there for one week and was like “fuuuuuuuuuuck this” and lied and said I had a better offer and tendered my resignation. I wasn’t part of the IT department and I wasn’t going to go down for an incompetent IT department.
As long as you want, assuming that you’re fine with everything that’s rendered incompatible in the future.

Depending on your game preference it may be already there in some aspects
Basically it depends on the kind of anticheat the game has
if you’re running a single instance of a game it’s already there. (I multibox so fuck me I guess)
if you’re waiting for native support it’s a chicken and egg scenario, your best bet is to switch asap and show developers there’s a market.
I’ve seen POS systems in local burrito shops still running Windows 7… native, not a VM…
I saw a bottle return machine running Windows 98.
The voip call manager in my last shop was running off win95.
I worked in a company which ran everything down to MS-DOS
