Yes, Windows 7 should work with the 3950x and X570 processors.

You understand by checking the data Windows 7 sends. You also know how to disable it.
Sure, simpler and you don’t need enterprise. No need to worry about bloat like Cortana, etc.
Managing manual removal of numerous KB files seems simpler than relying on external tools to block telemetry. Windows 10 does have its drawbacks—sluggishness, frequent updates, ads—but this kind of confusion isn’t useful. Telemetry exists in older versions too, like Windows 7 and 8.1, though it gathers less data than in Windows 10. Getting rid of it there is more difficult, which means fewer people disable it. Disabling telemetry in Windows 10 can be tricky since updates often restore it. However, tweaking your host file usually fixes the issue. My message is that if you’re concerned about telemetry, it’s worth exploring how to turn it off in Windows 7 first. Many KB updates over the past couple of years focus on telemetry, and it’s odd to see criticism about Windows 10 while Windows 7 still faces similar problems.
It seems you're pointing out some compatibility issues. If you didn't want Windows 10, the X570 board wouldn't have been a good fit. AMD offers basic chipset drivers for the X570 on Windows 7, but those drivers don't support USB 3, leading to various problems. The X570 actually requires Windows 10.
Yes, I'm using Windows 10 and I understand you're okay with this. Are you wondering if Windows 7 would start because of the activation process?
Can I handle this automatically? I've heard they also complicated the themes a lot. The classic Windows 98 theme was removed from Windows 7, and you’ll need a workaround that could potentially break Windows 10 updates. Overall it’s not great, but what options do you have?
I don't understand what you're referring to by hacks. I just install it and use it without any problems. It's been my first choice when setting up an operating system. I've never experienced issues with it. I've been using it for years. It's the initial step whenever I install an OS. I haven't used the native GUI for Windows 10 before. If you asked me how to locate the control panel on a standard Windows 10 installation, I wouldn't be able to give you guidance. They use the older versions like Windows 95/98, XP, Vista, 7, etc.
