I always dispose of older hardware within weeks of getting new ones.  At this point my wife has more PCs, laptops, tablets and phones than I do. I have only 1 of each.

Windows 7. Dad tried installing 10 on it, but it didn't work. About a month ago, while I was on vacation, I had a hard drive inform me it was dying of old age, and we took it to a computer repair shop. We added that "As soon as you cloned the hard drive/enabled the backup we just made, install Windows 10 on it." It turns out that, since my machine is an old one we refurbished (a Dell Latitude E5400), it actually wouldn't work with 10 anyway. That said, my Dad's computers (laptops and the PC downstairs) all work with 10. Maybe eventually, I'll upgrade, but it'll have to be on a new laptop.

I put my first UEFI hardware into service this year. All the old machines were old style bios. Not sure those will run 10.

Windows 7...

Windows 8.1 + Classic shell is pretty neat too. I used it after Windows 10 fucked up my computer and before I went the Linux way.

Ubuntu and Fedora dual boot on laptop
Android on phones
Win7 on PC, strictly for gaming purposes.

I have no plans of upgrading to win10 ever unless it gets an exclusive title that really interests me. I am looking forward to their hololens though... hopefully the chinese will make an affordable ripoff of it soon Sad

Both my desktop and laptop are running Windows 10. So far I'm really glad I upgraded.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
