As a reminder, I’m using Windows 8.1 on my school laptop and everything works fine. I’ve also saved the Windows 7 installer. It seems like Windows 7 is installed as well.

Are you referring to Windows 10? I wasn't sure, but I didn't have any issues with Windows 7 at launch. You can even run Windows 7 drivers and programs. It might take a bit of time for full optimization, but many people are using Windows 10 now and it seems fine. I use Start8 on my PCs.

But you already have Windows 7 set up. Upgrading to Windows 8.1 can be done through the official Windows update process or via a media installation. It’s legal to use it on your desktop as long as you’re not using it for schoolwork. Edited January 6, 2015 by xnoobftw

Windows 8 initially faced many issues, but Windows 8.1 offered enhancements making it more stable.

GPUs generally face few issues, though driver problems are common.

Refers to issues with the driver, such as frequent blue screen errors or GPU-related game malfunctions.

It's unexpected considering the many positive reviews, yet it seems you had a smooth experience.

You cannot rely on Windows 7 drivers and software continuously; they work most of the time, though occasionally they fail. For instance, when upgrading a friend's PC from Windows 7 to 8, I encountered issues because only Win7 drivers were available, and even after trying the WIFI driver in compatibility mode, it didn’t install properly.

Sure, it varies—after a short time, almost all products came with Windows 8 drivers, and most items should function properly for regular use.
