Solution
Its very probable that if an application works with windows 7 then it will work with windows 10, I have a lot of games installed on my laptop that used to work with windows 7 and 8.1

If a motherboard says it was designed for windows 7 then it should work with windows 10 no problem. it might be a bit slow due to the age of the hardware. if you think you might have a problem, you can start the install of windows 10 and it will check your system compatibility. unfortunately there is no standalone upgrade assistant app for windows 10

Yes windows 7 programs can work on windows 10 but expect problems since it is a new OS. There are compatibility options you can set in the properties compatibility tab in your files/games to run as windows 7.

There is also alternatives like dosbox, virtual box, VMware to enable you to use older programs that are no longer supported
