About Installing Vista in 2017

I recently bought Vista Ultimate SP1 off Ebay and I want to install it again. But now that it's 2017 and sveral things have been discontinue from it. Is there anything I need to know first? I see threads about Windows Updates not co-operating.

According to PC Master Race Reddit and Discord my 1151 Z170 MOBO and i7 6700K Skylake CPU is good to go for this. Is this still SAFE to use in 2017? I know Chrome is no longer Supported but FF is. I don't want to be compromised.

FF currently is supported but not for much longer. Keep in mind that as of 4/11 you won't be receiving any more updates at all for Windows but provided that you are careful on the net you should be relatively safe until antivirus updates cease.

So installing it now is pointless? I still might for ****s and giggles on a separate HDD mind you. It shouldn't be a complete safety hazard right?
