What do the updates say, exactly? I've heard that Google Chrome will soon stop providing updates for Vista users, but you can just use a different web browser (such as Firefox).
Vista itself is in extended support (i.e. Microsoft won't be implementing any new features, but will continue to produce security fixes) until 11 April 2017, so that means you should be fine for another 14 months. Maybe you could get someone to install Windows 10 for you then, or look at getting a new laptop?
