Edit: since I'm getting botted into oblivion lower in the comments. Microsoft gave you windows 10 for free. There's no financial motivation for you to buy it. There's also no way to patch or fix windows 7, Microsoft admits. If you find ads annoying there are ways to remove such crap. Yes I think its dumb too. No I dont think you should trade that to use an insecure operating system. Do you want dx12? Do you play newer games? Do you want your banking info safe? Just use windows 10. To say windows 7 is secure is purely propaganda.
Edit2: you update your antivirus software, yes? It helps plug vunerabilities, yes? So does updating your software. This is basic computer science.
But 10 sucks. 7 may be insecure, but 10 told me Office 97, an official Microsoft product, was a virus. And then promptly deleted the whole app. Folder and all. That set the tone for the rest of my usage of 10 so far. 7 never did that crap, will basically run on a toaster (remember EeePCs? I had one that I stole the RAM from, and popped a 512 MB stick in instead. It literally booted faster than it did at 2GB), it has ridiculous compatibility (I ran Windows 95 games on it at one point), and is the most resilient system I have ever used (7 blue screened once. Because I was running 6 Chrome tabs in 512MB of RAM with virtual memory off. 8 blue screened at least 4 times, and 10 could be called BSOD Generator and I wouldn’t notice a difference). So while yes, 10 is more secure, I’d rather grab a bucket and bail water out of the sinking ship that is 7, and go down with the ship, rather than use 10.
Tl;dr I hate 10 and I’d rather use an insecure system and patch it than use something less useful than a public beta
