OP should 'burden' I.T. to clone or image the current hard drive, store it somewhere SAFE,
then nuke the clone with the Windwoes 10 migration, and pray it doesn't fly south.
If it does, de-migrate and put back the original hard drive or restore the saved image

FWIW to the doom forecasters:
Windows 7 is not 'dying' unless some forced
"update fix for a security patch for a critical update" etc..kills it.
LOL, what an obvious wank all that bloatware shyte is today, to force connedsumers on a constant upgrade merry go round, laced with AnythingGoesWare,
till they get peaved enough to blow their retirement money on a beachball vending Mac (another player forcing connedsumers on a constant software and HARDWARE upgrade merry go round..)
or try Linux,
or stay with the Windows version that works.
Just how many clueless computer suckers do these marketing 'teams' think are around in 2019?
2000, XP, and Vista still haven't appeared at Boot Hill yet
I reckon there's a few lurkers still rolling with NT4, 98 and ME too (you know who you are
)
Even W8 and W8.1 are bearable, compared to bossy boots come tiled phone wannabee W10
At the end of the day it's the apps that count to get work and play done, and users should not give a stuff about the host OS.
The OS should have a convenient GUI layout that doesn't require OS Developer thinking, mashed with changes for the hell of it,
or previous skill stuffing around with a tiled phone concept,
and as good as it's potential was,
they bailed on it toward the finishing line, and gave it the ass anyway..
Who wants to wrestle with an oversized handheld phone GUI on a decent sized monitor,
and balls about with silly annoying floater tiles
rather than a simple Start Menu, Programs List, and obvious Desktop shortcuts like
MY COMPUTER Control Panel, Recycle Bin and Task Bar etc etc ?
