My old gaming box is still running Windows 7. Honestly, I view the OS as nothing more than a platform to run my apps - and for most of my (ridiculous) steam collection, it runs the games, vmware workstation, my dev tools, and browsers just fine. All the hardware in there has drivers. The 'extras' in Windows 10 just are not things I use or care about. The only feature that interest me is the continued support - so some time this December, I'll be updating those machines. I likely hung on to XP64 longer than I should have, as my apps just worked... so same 'unfamiliar' pushback this time around.
From what I understand, you can still do it without an online account... if you don't install with a network connection.
I kicked Win10 around when my threadripper hardware came in and ended up just installing Centos on my primary box. EOL for Windows 7 just seemed to happen really fast.
