What does the loss of XP support mean to me as an individual user? a) Don't worry about it and continue using my current working laptop, or b) replace with a Windows 7 laptop that wife no longer uses (Android tablet), or c) buy an Windows 8.1 tablet with a detachable keyboard that I saw on sale.

My guess is a) don't worry about it, but I could use some reassurance because of security concerns.
No problems, no change. Go with the flow.

Also, if you're thinking about upgrading/renewing your Microsoft Office craptastic programs, try OpenOffice (FREEWARE) and see if you're happy with it before renewing. Basically the same program with buttons in different places and things named different.
