They can have my Windows 3.11 when they pry it from my cold, dead laptop...

I was thinking the same until I used the upgrade assistant and classic shell. Now my new Windows 10 looks almost same as Windows 7.

Problem is...While you can make the desktop and graphics look and function the same as win 7 , it is STILL win 10 under the hood...

You just need a anti virus and anti spyware program on Windows 7. The time to move is when the web browswers no longer support Windows 7.

Can one (on Win7) copy an entire harddisk verbatum to another to do this upgrade on (they are cheap these days ) — so that if most of your useful programs no longer work you can revert to your old system if your faulty upgrade turns out being being unreversable.

Same here. Though I have a hard drive with W10 on it, my primary O/S’s are still XP and W7, dual-booted on the same hard drive.
