Three years ago, I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 10 to replace her 10yo windows 7 machine.
It had hardware issues out of the box, and went in on two repairs. It works fine now, AFAIK.
But, she still doesn't trust it, and she doesn't think that she can move her Adobe CS6 license over to it..
I even bought her the affinity suite.
I'm starting to think she'll never move on from Windows 7.
I think the major browsers stopped supporting it sometime during the last year, so my best hope is that some included certificates will eventually make her favourite websites stop working. That has to force her over to something more recent.. right?
I use arch, btw.

Here is a relatively up to date Chromium fork that supports Windows XP and newer (I am not affiliated with the project btw)
I'll keep that secret from her 😅
