If Windows is updating without permission in one of your companies, there's an issue with whoever manages IT for that company. Even without an Enterprise license, it's trivial for a domain environment to control update behavior. Group policy handles the majority of these concerns easily.

Even if you could install Windows 7, you would be very mistaken in doing so, as it would put your company at significantly greater risk. Even while security updates are still available, the differences in the platform already lead to scenarios where large malware infections tend to be almost entirely on machines which weren't running Windows 10.

I agree. I always read these horror stories about windows, specifically win10, and I have just had a completely different experience. On personal machines, work machines, servers, large deployments, domain controlled and not ... I’ve just never had these problems.

To be clear: I've encountered plenty of issues on Windows 10. But most have been addressed, the rest can be managed if you know what you're doing, and running out of date operating systems is not a safe or viable way to operate, especially as a business.

If someone really just doesn't like Windows 10, my advice is to switch to Linux. Continuing to run obsolete operating systems just isn't okay. :)
