I have a Dell Latitude 7350 touch screen laptop with Windows 10. I really
hate Windows 10. Can it be converted to Windows 7? Will I be able to get
the touch screen working? I've tried to make it look like Windows 7, but
there are many things that just don't work well. Am I nuts to do something
like this? I appreciate any comments.

I felt the same for a long time, and tried to avoid W10 as much as possible. I
did replace it with W7Pro on a few laptops until they started with the Kaby
Lake chipset/motherboard config and newer hardware that has no support for any
OS earlier than W10. You can use a KBL motherboard in a desktop box running W7
because you can pick&choose what hardware you plug into its sockets; - not the
case with a laptop.

so...

I started on a journey to accept W10 if I wanted to take advantage of the newer
hardware/technologies being built into laptops. The focus of my journey was to
make W10 look/feel/work as much like W7 as possible, paying specific attention
to its spying and loss of control over updates. So far so good after reworking
a half dozen systems for others along the way. All are running reliably without
issue so I know you can get to the same place if you just persist your efforts
to make it happen. Here's what my configs include:


....

Avanquest PowerDesk Pro
This is a paid app (with 30 day free trial) that replaces Windows Explorer.
- a better, customizable alternative File Manager for any Win OS with so
useable features it will 'blow-your-mind'!


I agree with several of the software choices you mention, but I also
disagree with several others. Of those I disagree with, I'll just
comment on this one:

PowerDesk *is* a good choice (I used to use it), but to me it's not
the best one. The one I recommend is Directory Opus.

I recommend that you try Directory Opus and decide for yourself
whether or not you like it better than PowerDesk.
