Running windoze 10 on the laptop I suppose not. At least not until they release their next major O.S.

Running just Windoze 7 might not be a problem either until . . .

A.) Your antique printer decides to dive into that great bit bucket in the sky. And the new printers refuse to talk to windoze 7.

B.) New tax software refuses to run under the old O.S.

Another interesting thing about Linux. I got ahold of a surplus HP Deskjet D1420 printer. USB interface. So, just to see, I plugged it into a Linux box. And it liked it and printed stuff to it. (I use it a couple times a month with the Linux box now.)

It is. The only other option if ya wanted to was to try windoze 10 or as Zim and yerself are trying, look to Linux.

I have BOTH windoze 7 x64 bit Professional and Windoze 10 on my laptop. Ever since I had my son in law to clean off the hard drive, install a new solid state drive and expand the size of the partition where that drive and everything would be stored, this system now screams. From turning on the laptop to being at desktop is under 15 seconds..
I also am getting more accustomed to using it and can still use all my oolder software programs like microsoft Office 2007 for example.

Anyway, I hope the community speaks up but to me it is not the end of the world...
