I think windows 7 is perfectly fine to use for now. Microsoft wants to make it difficult to stay on the OS though with not continuing updates. I loved windows 7 the first time I tried it out though. The difference from windowsxp was leaps and bounds of how much smoother the OS was along with aero desktop. I really like windows 10 at this point though. I just feel like it is much more intuitive OS compared to everything else I've tried including Linux. Again, I would say it's fine for now.

Microsoft is guaranteeing support through 2020 for Windows 7 so you can use it till then then reevaluate that decision come 2020.

Win 7 end of life is January 2020, and just like Win XP you can expect MS NOT to extend its life beyond that date. Frankly I would not wait until than to upgrade to Win 10 as MS is still offering a free upgrade to it if you do not mind a little white lie or two. If you use accessibility technologies on your machine like the screen narrator or the magnifier you can get it for free by going here But the free offer expire December 31, so hurry if interested. Oh and MS does nto check if you do use the accessibility tech.
