windows 7 family tree prog

[louisa maud]

I have a family tree prog that I have had since 1996, GSP,  in the first place I didn't want one but my husband bought it for me as a Christmas gift and boy what a good present it was,  I am now finding my computor will need to be updated , at the moment my main computer is at the comp hospital as I wasn't able to "wake  it up", it is the second time away this year with huge problems, the computor  is windows 7, I have been told that sooner or later windows 7 will be fazed out and I will need to upgrade to windows 10, not keen, this will affect my family tree prog as it isn't compatible with windows 10 I am told, I need to replace my FT prog, what will I do?, I am not in the least technical and am very worried I could lose all of my hard work over 20 years, The programme  GSP, I did upgrade this at one time and luckily I didn't transfer all of my family trees over, to be honest I didn't understand it

Any suggestions folks bearing in mind I am not technical

Even if Microsoft stop supporting Windows 7, it will still work for years to come!

I'm another who hasn't upgraded to Windows 10, and doubt that I ever will?
My internet connection is through a PAYG MyFi dongle, and I am limited to 5GB of data, or 31 days usage, for my monthly £20.

Upgrading could cost me a lot of money!

My "tame" computer man (a professional) has advised me not to upgrade to Windows 10, and has even taken away the option to do so on my computer so I can't do it by mistake.  I do run Windows 7.

Thank you very much for info received, I am passing this to my husband and hoping he will resolve my problem,the biggest problem I have is I am the holder of a family tree and the owner has windows 10, I don't know how I am going to pass this over

I am still awaiting my present computer to be returned, 5 days at comp hospital and still no news, getting worried 

Thank you
