Aha! I worked with Windows 8.1 on a new laptop a few years back, and had a really good experience with it.
So wonder whether one could then upgrade one's Windows from Windows 7 to 8.1? Support for 8.1 ends in 2023.
My hard ware on which I have Windows 7 is still OK. But for me it's common sense that since the hardware is old by current standards (desktop dated 2014 and laptop dated 2012), that I may find compatibility issues with a Windows 10 upgrade.
