No, what is listed are the concerns they have with W10 but they don't say what is preventing them from using W7 if they really want to.


>I wish I could have used Windows 7 forever :\

Probably the fact it's an unsupported OS,

    As of January 14, 2020, your computer running Windows 7 will still function but Microsoft will no longer provide the following:
      Technical support for any issues
      Software updates
      Security updates or fixes


Aye, I don't use win7 because it's unsupported. Microsoft also updated it automatically when I wasn't looking.

I don't really care enough to support windows 7 myself; as I mentioned, the only reason I have Windows is for video games, so as long as I'm still getting video driver updates, Win10 could be the worst OS in the world and it wouldn't bother me too much.
