Those machines could be upgraded to the newer OS, and the Microsoft lifecycle is clearly and concisely available and widely known. Microsoft provide patches for their OS for 5 years AFTER EOL, a date known as EOS (End of Support).

In this instance, nobody was aware of it at all and the system needs replacing at EOS, and in this instance EOS == EOL
