MS didn't really extend WIN7 very much. They normally support an OS for 10 years (5 years mainstream, 5 years extended). They supported WIN7 for just over 11 years and that was thanks to the failure that was WIN8.
Still, it will likely take WIN10 a while to die as WIN7. For most home users, there is no real incentive to change until they buy new computers. It will likely be adopted more quickly by businesses than OS in the past just from a security prospective. WIN7 to WIN10 adoption (while still ongoing) was driven by these same concerns.
