I bought a new computer and all I could get was windows 10. I hate it. But they said the new computer already had windows 10 and they couldn’t change it. Windows 10 is absolutely horrible.
I bought my daughters new laptops last year, both Win10 machines. For what they use it for, Win10 is fine, but I’m not looking forward to the day I have to use it at work...

You can still buy “7 Ultimate” on Ebay.

You can get Windows 7 if you purchase refurbished (actually great deals and every machine in my home and office is a refurbished unit and been very reliable.
On Windows 10, I went with it for my personal machine only because Windows 7 support runs out in 18 months (or less). I had XP before and was tired of the constant non-longer supported issues). Windows 7 is great and more familiar. I gotta say, though, except for a few things I don't like, Windows 10 is working for me.

There is a utility program out there called Classic Shell. It is an interface that will make your machine look and act like windows 7. It’s free but will take a donation. If you like it throw the guy a few bucks. I own a computer repair shop and install this for a lot of my senior clients.
I've bought two (used) HP laptops just to get/keep windows-7.
I disable 'auto update' as soon as I receive the computer.
Download Classic Shell (it’s free) and you will be very happy - your W10 box will once again seem familiar.
I despise W10, but clients need new computers so I install Classic Shell.
I use W7 in a Mac. 100% love it.
If you have a WX license, you have “downgrade” rights, which will enable the user of a proper OS like W7, but you need the install media (and hardware for which W7 drivers exist).
