Windows 7 is one of the most-loved versions of Windows ever. There are still many companies and people who choose to stay on it. Some estimate that approximately 300 million devices still run Windows 7. That being said, Windows comes with a plethora of features that make it worth upgrading to in the eyes of many. Windows 10 has been out for years, meaning it’s received several meaningful major updates and thousands upon thousands of bug fixes.

Even though Microsoft claims that support for the free Windows 10 upgrade offer is over, you can still take advantage of it. Microsoft seems to turn a blind eye to anyone who uses the Windows 10 Upgrade website to activate a Windows 10 license with a Windows 7 serial key.

If you upgrade to Windows 10 and miss the look of Windows 7, you can use software like Start10 to make your new operating system look old again.
