Appropriate. Windows 10 emerged during a time when solid-state drives and high-speed hard drives were common, whereas Windows 7 was developed when solid-state storage was prohibitively expensive, around 120GB.

They operate identically, with the main constraint being the automatic updates that can wipe every hard drive, even on systems running Windows 10.

It should work just fine. You can start Windows 7 by switching from a 5400RPM hard drive to a 7200RPM one. It’s actually quite flexible.

A 5400rpm hard drive tends to lag under any operating system, particularly after switching from an SSD where speed is accustomed. Comparing SATA SSDs with NVMe has become clear for me. Going back to a 5400rpm drive would be challenging.

I concur, SSDs are now affordable. I recently bought an ADATA 120GB for $17.00 USD on Amazon with complimentary shipping. I thought it worth a shot.
