I have no problems doing anything with Windows 7 on the variety of PCs (and
bootcamp Macs) I run in and around my Shop, for clients and for family.
If you're having trouble with web pages, you many need a plug-in enabled in
your browser, or perhaps an adblocker or other protective measure is
preventing a page from loading fully (I have had this issue). I have yet to
run into an app that works in Windows 10 that doesn't run in Windows 7.
An additional note: The performance improvement of a SSD over a HDD is not
to be underestimated! If you'd like to see if a fresh install of Windows 7
would fix your issues, buy a 256GB SSD (<$60) and give it a try. That way,
you can set aside your current drive and go back to it if you so choose.
Happy to help further if you'd like.
