Windows 7 lost the graphics "warmth of feel" that Windows XP has. I guess you could call it that. A lot of things are better. Control Panel (especially Networking and Internet; also Windows Update). Some things are worse (backward compatibility for some hardware; online activation and tech support). Compare it to Linux Fedora LXDE. That OS is simple, free, and great if you are expert with command line. Especially, working with source code and compiling custom hardware drivers. Folding them into the kernel without crashing and trashing. Bought Windows 7. Got tired of the crashing and trashing. Not an expert.
When Microsoft started getting insistent about upgrading my Vista Home Premium and my machine tested inadequate for Win 10, I found Win 7 to be acceptable replacement. Install was long but painless and now my old laptop is my favorite machine. I got a new Win10 laptop shortly thereafter and it is a bloated dog compared to Win7. Good product and works great.

This system is very reliable and most resembles XP, which was a very good system. IE - 11 occasionally is unable to finish an operation, tells you so and then resumes. Not a big problem. This Win version can be upgraded to Win 10 at no cost. Think hard before you convert. Look at someone's computer which has Win 10 on it before you get rid of a good system like this one. Be sure to get SP 1 version of Windows 7. Sp1 took care of a lot of things.

I was happy with vista, but then when win 10 came out and microsoft said that in the future, help with all other systems would cease, and that if you had win 7 you could get win 10 free, I bought win 7 at a decent price in order to get the win 10 upgrade free.

I installed these updates on two 2009 era HP Vista laptops (one dual core and one single core). The dual core went very smoothly but the single core had a problem detailed below. Both are now happily running W10 with no issues. The root cause was the problem laptop is only a 2 GHz single core and Windows Update essentially consumes it. Using System Monitor I was able to detect that svchost(netsvcs) was driving the CPU to 100% by the "wuausvc" update process. When the W10 installer reached the point where it was trying to do the initial update, I had to stop/start wuasvc in System Monitor - Services several times to allow the installer to reach 100% in smaller chunks (about 11% each). Once that was done everything went smoothly and the single core 2 GHz processor runs W10 with no problem.Read full review
