Windows 8.1 can be made to look like 7 if you get Classic Shell, and it
is reputed to be more resistant to malware. There are a number of things
that are not compatible, however. Frinstance, there is no driver for an
HP Photsmart 1115 printer. I don't know what else doesn't work. 8.1 boots
quite a bit faster than 7, if that makes any difference to you.

FWIW, I do most of my computing in Linux.
