What about windows 10?
I need to replace my laptop urgently. But i hate windows 8 and I want to continue using Windows 7.
I understand that that Windows 10 will enable me to continue running Windows 7. Is this the case?

I use a mouse. I will not ever to use a touch screen. I spend an average of seven hours a day six days a week working on my laptop. Excel, Words, Website creation etc. We all form a pattern of use and it is a real bind having to do things differently from a work point of view. Having a familiar pattern of work pc-wise is about the only routine that is good.
Windows 8 would inevitably change that.
But my questions remains outstanding, re will I be able to apply Windows 10 more easily to what I have been used to since Windows 7 came out?

I use a mouse as well and not a touch screen.
With one single, tiny exception, Windows 8 has not changed my work habits at all. It is faster than Windows 7 and needs newer software, but so also will Windows 10.
Windows 10 is another change forward and Microsoft has move the furniture again (where everything is) but it is easily learned. It is NOT a return to Windows 7 and you will need to adapt.
However, it took all of 10 minutes to make Windows 10 look like Windows 8 and 10 or 20 minutes to make Windows 8 look like Windows 7.
No big deal at all. And so far as we know now, Windows 10 will be free upgrade to Windows 8.1 users.
