I hear ya there about Win 7. In fact I’m hoping the new Surface Book can be retrograded to Win 7. If it can’t do it native, I’ll run VMware and it’ll live in the Win 7 VM rather than the host.

I don’t think Surface can run win-7..

No touch interface..

That started in 8, if I recall.

What they would have to do, is rewrite win 7 and incorporate win 8 into it.

Oh! Wait....I forgot....They did exactly that with win 10.:-)

The surfacebook will have a UEFI bios that will require Windows 8.1 or above since it likely won’t have a legacy option since the SP3 didn’t.
