Consider your needs and system compatibility before deciding.
I believe the key advantage someone gains from switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 lies in the mental aspect. While both versions function, I haven’t found any real functional benefits with Windows 10 over Windows 7. However, I do see some drawbacks in Windows 10—constant attempts by the system to override user control, automatic updates, frequent configuration resets, program removals after major patches, unexpected restarts, and extensive data collection without proper oversight. If you run old games, Windows 7 might still be more compatible, as noted in this article: there’s no trouble getting it to work with the newest AMD and Intel processors. Official drivers exist for Ryzen and Threadripper on Windows 7: https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/c...os=Windows 10 - 64 Yet neither AMD nor Intel requires additional drivers for Windows 7. For security updates on the latest CPUs, a simple patch is needed: https://github.com/zeffy/wufuc to restore Windows Update functionality. The restrictions on Windows Update for newer chips in Windows 7 seem more like a deliberate tactic to push users toward Windows 10, potentially for data collection and commercial gain.
