I am all for progress and generally support upgrades to the OS. What annoys me is when they change the user interface to the key applications that I use. Excel, word etc. There must be many man years of effort wasted in re-learning and usually there is zero benefit of the change.

Brings to mind the saying...."If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Nowt wrong with W7 and it still works perfectly both on the wife's 11 year old i3 laptop and my equally aged i3 desktop, maxed out RAM and SSD make a ALL the difference and both boot from cold in under a minute. Both are too old to take W11 anyway, not that I have the remotest desire to have it.
I was semi forced to W10 on my 2018 laptop about a year ago, it came with W10 but on the very first day I binned it in favour of W7 on SSD, only switched because of some sound and SD card slot driver issues with W7 which hadn't bothered me until I started to use it for new things.
Bottom line: for those who know what they're doing W7 works just fine and needs no 'upgrading'. Also, regardless of OS, machines slow down due to the indiscriminate (often unwitting) installation and accumulation of junk, of itself age need not be a problem.
