The "support" most importantly includes security updates. You better bet every hacking group has been working at finding fresh zero days for Windows 10 and is stockpiling them to start hammering any PCs that can't be upgraded this October

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but didn't MS push important security updates to Win7 even after end of support?

That was an exceptional case, I think with the WannaCry malware. Not something they'll regularly do.
