You are correct. If your Win7/8/10 install is up-to-date on patches, 
you're safe.
Microsoft actually did a one-time update to XP specifically for Wannacry 
because those people who stubbornly refuse to upgrade past it are now a 
huge risk as an attack vector to the rest of us. They figured they'd 
better pull out the reference books one more time to protect them from 
themselves.
