Windows 10 is better, faster, and still supported. Sooner or later you're going to be using it. MS has killed mainstream Win 7 support, so why bother.

Stick with 7. You already have everything setup. 10 offers very little gain on anything and can have issues with some older stuff. Win7 extended support is good until Jan 2020, so you've got time and by that time win12 will be out and you can skip 10 entirely

Yes, Windows 10 is lighter and faster. My mothers old i3 based system runs noticeably faster on Win10

His stuff isn't that old. I've installed Win 10 on far older systems and it runs noticeably better than 7.

I really do not understand the obsession to still be stuck with windows 7 because of false claims/beliefs about security, personal data sharing, performance, advertising, privacy settings etc. What is indisputable at this point with spectre and meltdown, is that older windows will suffer more and system call overhead in older windows have been demonstrated to take a bigger hit. I am no fan of Microsoft, but the windows 7 update process is a lot more hassle and far more time consumning than windows 10.
