Windows 7 will be supported for a few more years, so, you don’t have to upgrade to Windows 10.
Meanwhile, I’ve been using Windows 8.1 with no problems at all, and in reality, it looks just like Windows 7 when I use it with the legacy desktop UI So, why can’t people just use the old desktop UI, and take advantage of all the new features and the faster speeds of their machines?
People have all kinds of excuses for why Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10 are not for them, but none of those excuses make any sense.
BTW, there are alternatives to Windows, such as Linux and even OSX with Macs, and if you have no need for anything besides a glorified browser, then, Chromebooks will be ‘good enough’. But, whatever the alternatives, they just can’t match Windows for ease of use and number of available applications and compatibility with all makes and models of PCs and peripherals.
I just upgraded to Windows 8 from 7. Actually after bit of playing around I’ve got it working quite well. ( or it has me working quite well )
It’s faster and works better with all my hardware.
