Sounds like a bad idea buying a machine designed for an obsolete OS. Sad but true; I agree that win7 is nicer than win10. Consider switching to Linux or MacOS, because Windows isn't reversing direction any time soon.
- walterbell 10y agoThe machines are all current generation (Skylake) and support both Windows 7 and Windows 10. If your professional workflow depends on a Windows app, this is your last chance to buy a Win7-compatible machine that will be supported until 2020. At any time, you can upgrade to Win10 with the included OEM license.

It seems like the first thing you'd have to do with a new Windows 7 system is turn off Windows Update, to keep the camel's nose, head, humps, legs, tail, and extended family out of the proverbial tent.
