You can get a Windows 7 disk and genuine licence key from ebay for about £25. If you can borrow a Windows 7 oem Home Premium disk, you can use that with a genuine licence key from ebay...about £10. That is legal as you are paying for the key. I've bought several and all have activated without problems. I agree about Windows 10. To get even the basic settings sorted out is very time consuming. So many things to take into consideration as well as privacy settings.
