I like Windows 7, and still have one system running that.  I like Windows 10, and have two machines running that now.  I avoided Vista.  My laptop came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed ... WTF was Microsoft thinking with that?  It would be cool if the OS could change GUI mode if you plugged in a touchscreen, but the majority of PC users still use a mouse and keyboard.  So building a PC OS around the metaphor of mobile and touchscreen?  Ridiculous!!!
 
So the laptop was my first plunge into Windows 10, because I could no longer stand the Windows 8 interface getting in my way.
 
But I have to say, Windows 10 is what Win 8 should have been to begin with.  Although I must say that it does take some time and effort to tame the Windows 10 privacy and update settings ... YMMV.  But for me it is stable and fast.
 
And I do have an old laptop that still runs Win XP.  Plus a virtual machine (VM) instance of XP as well.  They don't often see the light of day, but I have a few older programs that refuse to install or run on Win 10, so I can still use them if needed.

Kings Mix - if you look at your post, you said
 
Since there seem to be so many bugs with windows 7, is it a good idea to roll back to windows 7?
 
I think Yoropal was asking, do you mean you have windows 10 and want to roll back to windows 7?
 
If that was your intention, well I have all my music computers on Windows 7 with very few issues. I do have other machines for non music work (graphics etc) with windows 10, that are very good, but some of the upgrades have caused problems - mainly short term but definite problems such as things stop working!!
Hope that is helpful

I too love Windows 10 and would not go back.
 
Then again, I still have a Windows Millennial Edition machine up and running in my house...
