I guess you meant 8.1 here, and corresponding server release 2012 R2. These will come to the end of their "extended" support phase in 2023, before PG16 comes out. If I understand correctly (and I'm not a Windows user, I just googled this), they will start showing blue full-screen danger-Will-Robinson alerts about viruses and malware. Why would we have explicit support for that in a new release? Do we want people putting their users' data in such a system? Can you go to GDPR jail for that in Europe? (Joking, I think). We should go full Marie Kondo on EOL'd OSes that are not in our CI or build farm, IMHO.
