I have used flashplayer since I first started using the internet which is since 2007. Now that Flashplayer will be dead at the end of December 2020 what do I use instead ? I am using Windows 10 64 bit and am worried that come January 2021 my computer will cease to operate properly. Can anyone help with suggestions please ?

There is nothing to use instead. If you still use a site that needs Flash Player, then at the end of the year that site will be useless. Millions of sites will be useless. However, most converted long ago: for example Youtube used to use Flash, and now it doesn't.
One way to check is to see if you are asked to approve Flash when you visit a site. No message, no Flash, no problem. But there will be pain and grief on many sites.

That sounds like a good plan. Note that if you use Microsoft Edge or Microsoft Internet Explorer, they use a special Flash Player put in Windows by Microsoft, which you can't uninstall (yet!)

Your Win10 computer system does not require Flash Player to operate. So this is a non-issue.

Are you pursuing some kind of world record in incomprehensible communication? I ask because that's the longest run on sentence I've ever seen.
Flash developers had 3 years to convert to new technologies. If they decided not to do it, that's their problem, not yours.
