My Win7 system is starting to have issues, I think that's a strategy

an older laptop with low resources. So I guess if I upgrade I'll have
a system that was not designed for this kind of hardware and soon
I'll be installing Linux and assuming I can't get a new laptop just
because there is a new system available. Why they don't let us work
with Win7 if we already bought it?

Gary, we will have to place you in a plastic bubble, to protect you
from the Forces of Nature.

The forces of nature is a good description of possible things that can
go wrong with Windows. That's why making backup copies works so well.
