I’m unsure what you’d think of Windows 10, but I really prefer Windows 7. I’ve used Windows 10 briefly and then switched back to Windows 7, which I find much more enjoyable. I also noticed that using an operating system that aligns with my preferences greatly boosts my satisfaction and productivity. Windows 10 seems too formal and impersonal compared to the more intuitive feel of Windows 7. If you don’t experience the benefits yourself, it might be wise to stick with what you have and enjoy the results. Windows 10 mostly just updates Windows 7 and 8 with extra features for Microsoft, while Windows 7 and 8 will get Vulkan improvements for better performance. Ultimately, it’s up to you.
Yes, Vulkan can be used with DX12 as a backend for rendering.
Vulkan isn't planned for Windows, regardless of developer choices. While some may opt for DX12 on Windows, its adoption remains limited to Linux. Even macOS seems unlikely to adopt Vulkan heavily, especially with Apple's Metal API already in place.
Vulkan is expected to appear on Windows, and game creators will adopt it. Some titles might rely solely on Vulkan or only on DirectX 12, and others could support both. Valve: The Growing Popularity of Vulkan Raises Questions About DirectX 12? Valve isn’t representing every developer’s view, but as a key player they hold a strong stance. You can anticipate Valve’s titles using Vulkan on Windows 7 and 8. Vulkan serves a similar purpose to OpenGL for DirectX, yet it’s open-source while DirectX 12 remains Microsoft’s proprietary technology.
If you truly think Vulkan will be widely adopted on Windows, you're making a bold assumption.
