Windows 10 doesn't "leak data", you fell for a meme

i think youre full of shit son
im not an expert but windows 7 is and will be for years the dominating os in corporations, unless they actually start to force-update peoples computers. and those big expensive scanners and printers are always geared torwards corporations.
are you sure your scanners are really losing support? can you provide a sauce of some sort?

anyway for your actual question. again im not an expert but your job sounds like it could be for the most part done offline. do that. never connect the win10 machine to the internet. only do the absolutely necessary stuff on it and then move the stuff to another computer. that should do the trick.

Use it exclusively offline. Alternatively, you could install it on a separate hard drive and install the SATA switch to switch between hard drives without having to unplug them.
Don't use dual boot, and don't panic since win7 will be supported for another decade.
But you should only be concerned if you use your own personal computer.

W7 won't be obsolete in many years to come, and I doubt that support for it will truly cease just yet. I'd rather dual-boot W7 and Linux, than even look at W10.

Even for gaming use, W10 is quickly becoming obsolete, thanks to the advent of Vulkan, and general DX9 and 11 domination at the moment.

spoken like a true shill, proven wrong numerous times.

been living under a rock? They already have been doing that for months. My parents-in-law's laptop was one of the closest victims to this bullshit, but luckily we managed to restore it back to W8.1. Disabled all the auto-updates, and ran some user-made programs that uninstall telemetry and W10 related installations.

Even if Vulkan was a viable alternative to DX12, which it is not, this would be untrue. Windows 10 can use Vulkan. Windows 10 isn't even going to become unnecessary if Vulkan succeeds thanks to M$'s arbitrary limitations forcing their pocketed developers to use DX12 and only allowing Xbox 'exclusive' titles to come to Windows 10 PCs.

Expect it's quickly becoming just that. Just about all major manufacturers and tons of game-devs are quickly adapting Vulkan as we speak. DX12 will almost certainly be limited to MS exclusive shit (=fucking nothing) and some individual AAA titles. At best, we'll be having similar situation as in late 90s, when you could choose between Software / D3D / OGL, this time the options being DX or Vulkan.
>Windows 10 can use Vulkan.
W7 can use Vulkan.
My phone can use Vulkan.

If a game utilize Vulkan, it'll be usable on seemingly "obsolete" tech, meaning W10 will be literally fucking obsolete. Again.

And like I said, MS has never made a single noteworthy or worthwhile game, that would get me switch to Botnet10 and start using their shitty systems.
