I got as far as liking Windows 7 and stuck with it myself but my son runs W10 and 11 on later devices, more necessary for him with his programming and other software he uses.

hi leo,
sounds like you might want to consider switching over to a community based linux distro (the newer intel / amd processors all work no problems - no arbitrary M$ cpu restrictions imposed nor the need for bitlocker). your system will at least receive security patches whereas as you probably know Win7 (and soon win10) doesn't.
