Since after this year Windows 10 will no longer get security updates, good luck with that.
A good alternative is to convert it to Linux Mint. It is a very close look-a-like to Windows 7 or 95. No one spies on you, no collects your data, you decide if you want updates and when, or not. You can do just about anything you can do on Windows in Linux (just a little different). I gave up on Windows 7 six years ago and will never go back.
