I really enjoy Windows 7. Windows 10 feels cluttered and not working well. My notebook has a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit copy installed. I’m thinking about getting a new one soon and want to switch to Windows 7. What difficulties might I encounter? I understand AMD and NVIDIA have stopped supporting Windows 7, but I’m okay with older drivers. I don’t play games or use graphics-heavy programs—just YouTube and word documents.

I enjoy the appearance and experience of Windows 7 as well, but I appreciate many aspects of what 10 offers, particularly on touch interfaces. I plan to maintain both systems while focusing more on Linux. It seems the current dominance of Windows has changed significantly over the past five to ten years, and since many websites and open-source projects are now available on Linux, it should be achievable. If I can navigate through the support advocates and critics, it could work out.

You'll face challenges in getting the drivers to install properly. Also, there are issues related to the operating system not receiving updates anymore.

I dont use touch devices. Except for my iphone. Im angry that companies are gimping my computers performance on purpose. Up until two years ago. I had no problems running 1080p content from youtube. Now it lags like crazy when I open a tab or minimize/maximize a video. There is atleast a five second delay. No matter how much I've upgraded my computers. I dont have the same problem on my windows 10 install at all. Only on windows 7. I tried using linux, but it's untenable. It's not user friendly at all. I cant use a mac. I just cant. It requires me to rewire my brain and learn to accommodate it. And not the other way around like it should be. You have to be within a certain brain space to use a mac. That is something I just can not do.
