I bought my mother a new PC and had no choice but to buy it with Windows 10 on it.
It really sucks. The interface is completely different and it's loaded with bloatware.

Download Classic Shell and you will get your Windows 7 interface back. Works like a charm.
Our migration to 10 is finally getting off the ground as a project. Been working on tweaking the image and build for months now... still work to do.
I have a friend in the computer biz and about a month ago we discussed 7. Yes you can still get copies of it, and he is fond of a business version that is actually cheaper that isn't a household name ( agggh, I can't remember it ). He had some demo laptops used for something like a charity event with no time on them that he got for a song and I was toying with getting one, putting a SSD in it with as much RAM as possible and loading 7 or the other option I mentioned. This is still do-able...
you caN Always buy windows 7 and put it on
Yes. The place my wife works at has Win10 computers and iOS tablets. Win7 is completely gone from their network.
