I have the opposite problem. I run windows 7 on a low-end piece of hardware just for a home built arcade machine running emulators. It needs windows to drive the front end software (Hyperspin). Trying to run this on Windows 10 is a nightmare. The disk activity on win 10 is horrendously and slow, plus Hyperspin doesn't natively run on 10.

I had to reinstall win7 on that system recently, and it absolutely refuses to do the online registration for it even though it's a valid (MSDN) license key. I think maybe they took the servers down or something because I get a comms error. So now after 30 days it keeps popping up a dialog box every 10 minutes saying that "I may be the victim of counterfeiting". How helpful of them.

I still don't have a solution for this so if anyone has an answer I'd be glad to hear it.

KMSpico - emulates local network activation, install automation to repeatedly activate every month.

Second option is get a laptop/prebuild PC with Win7 key already burned into the bios and run your software on it.
