Windows 7 remains a viable option in 2018, though its performance may not match newer versions. Running Windows 7 (64-bit) could offer better speed compared to Windows 10 after turning it off, especially if you're using it for memory-intensive tasks like Cortana. However, privacy concerns about game installations and software updates are valid—consider alternatives that prioritize user control and security.

Until 2020 the extended support ended.

Cortana operates efficiently without consuming memory or CPU when not in use.

Yes, you can use it after 2020. However, Cortana reports low CPU usage (0.3%) and limited RAM (40MB) in Task Manager.

it will become "faster" until the OS support diminishes and performance drops below Win 10. there are some variations, but the last check showed a minor change.

Observe the low 0.3% usage and 40 MB RAM consumption—it feels significant yet minimal. Are you certain all settings are disabled?

The value of Windows 7 depends on your specific situation. It offers improvements for older systems but may feel clunky on newer hardware. For limited RAM, Windows 10 usually shines more. Ultimately, performance differences are often minor and vary by use case.

I checked the settings and disabled it there; I wonder if adjusting the registry would make a difference.

The 40mb (or mB?) of RAM might not be using exactly 40MB. Much of it could be stored in pages. Unless you need it running, having items in memory isn't harmful. Removing memory is extremely quick, which is why superfetch and prefetching exist.
