Win7 is 32bit and Win10 is 64bit.
You'll probably lose a lot of programs which are now incompatible because emulation or backwards-compatibility or whatever it's called was not built into 10.
I believe Win7 was limited to utilizing only 4GB of RAM at a time despite the hardware so that is one major improvement with larger tasks.
The first thing I did with Win10 was go into "Apps" settings and turn off everything that was running in the background. Permissions not granted.
(they are all on by default)
Jigsaw/Xbox still starts on its own occasionally and can't be uninstalled. Same with EdgeUpdate and a few others.
This laptop computer only has 4GB of RAM and occasionally slows down, possibly due to background virus scanning and a ton of saved Waterfox bookmarks, but most of the time it runs pretty smoothly.
