I can add patches from reg edit, and the command line

That isn't how security patches work. The windows registry is just a big collection of configuration, which you can edit with regedit. It doesn't allow you to change the code that actually runs, and that is where security vulnerabilities lie.

 

Here's a list of security vulnerabilities that were found in Windows 7 recently, none of which you are protected against and many of which you will not be able to mitigate. Many of them will not be relevant to you, but some of them will be, and some of those will be exploitable even if you follow all security guidelines and don't do anything stupid.

 

If you insist on remaining on an old, unsupported version of Windows, it is essential that you use a decent antivirus software. It can slow things down, although not a huge amount, but things being slower is far better than being infected with ransomware, being used as part of a botnet to attack other people, or whatever.
