It takes longer to start up, everything is ABSOLUTELY nowhere where it should be, the navigation is horrendously complicated, it's all app based like a larger version of a cellphone, and frankly, I don't trust forced updates.

Windows 7 has already reached EOL .
What you doin on an ancient OS anyway ?
Have you read of the new features in Windows 10 ?
You need to.
And , once upon a time years ago , you actually had a chance to use your Windows 7 to upgrade to Win 10 as a registered digital copy for free.
I capitalized on that one with all 4 of my machines running Windows 8.1.
Just think , Win 10 for free. Registered . With Microsoft.
Then , almost immediately , signed up for the Windows 10 Insider Program on 2 of them.
Never had an issue.

Keep Win 7. Two of my machines still have it. It works fine. "End of support" means no more updates, but who cares? How many times --in your entire life-- have you actually needed "support" from Microsoft? You have more control over your own machine with Win 7. Just keep it and don't worry about it. When you get a new machine, which you eventually will, it will have the latest OS.

I stuck with win 7 because win 10 is a completely open system, no security at all. People have reported they were in the middle of doing something and all of a sudden their computer would shut down, restart and install updates. You as the user had no say in what they installed on your computer.
This open door system is major worry for me.
but at least it’s not Vista.
