Stay with Windows 7 and you won’t have problems.

Wouldn't that be nice! But both of our new laptops have 8th generation Intel processors which are basically incompatible with Windows 7 except in virtual machines... which I do have.

This is because of an intentional effort on Microsoft's part to stymie the development of necessary drivers.
