What are some of the Windows 10 problems you mention?
Probably no worse than Windows 7.

Remember this thread is for those who are procrastinating (as I was) about switching from 7 to 10.

Linux switch is another issue.

Were all your pictures (if you take any) still there and could you find them?

The switch to Linux is most definitely one of the options for those who are procrastinating about what to do about the end of Windows 7 support.

There are maybe eight computing devices in my house. Some are running 7 and some are now running 10. After having looked at 10 and having read up on the fundamental differences between 7 and 10, I determined that 10 is NOT the way I want to go with my primary devices, all of which are on Windows 7.

I had been dreading the prospect of having to learn how to build my own OS from all of the building blocks available from Linux, until Freeper Openurmind turned me on to the new generation of Linux versions, which are pre-built, and basically install like any Windows operating system.

We installed Linux Mint (Cinnamon) on one of my older laptops, side by side with the existing Windows 7 system. I've got to tell you, the install is smooth and painless. Just follow the prompts and in very little time you'll have a new operating system on your computer that has about 80% similarity to your Microsoft system. You can even make it look exactly like Windows 7 if you wish.

I'd advise anyone facing this dilemma to check out videos on YouTube to see what Linux looks like, and what the advantages are (there are many).
