What is it you do that you can't work out how to do with Win10? Because 99% of the time, it's the exact same experience.
I can't answer that as I didn't retain 10 on my machine for more than a day, but I expect you are possibly correct.
A clean install and then some faffing to get it the way you want will probably result in a machine that will do pretty much all that 7 would do or, at least I would hope it would.
But, my own experience upgrading to 10 on a Dell m4600 16Gb I7 test machine was not good, too many niggling and time consuming fixes required and the realisation of such a colossal level of faffing to get it how it was (my own fault I know as I customise so much), so I rolled back to 7.
A few of my own problems, not in any necessary order, and there were many more I've forgotten in that bad dream process.
Sluggish menus. The upgrade didn't pick up the registry mod to speed it up so it would need to be re-applied and no doubt MS have probably put it in a new regkey.
System Performance was reset to MS defaults, again all other customised details forgotten.
Many custom context menu enhancements missing after upgrading. I had them there for a good reason, productivity and workflow.
Inability to use the simple stretched bitmap I have for my screen background and working perfectly ok on all releases upto 7, while I could select it, 10 then simply ignored the selection. Most odd.
Inability to change the taskbar colour. Seriously weird.
Icon sizes not the same and it looked like a new labyrinth game to learn in order to change them to my custom sizes.
And to top it all, after the fourth or so boot, wireless stopped working and refused to start, I've no idea and by that stage I'd lost all inclination to discover why.
I really couldn't be arsed wasting any more of my time so rolled back to 7, and that's when the real fun started.
IE would no longer work, 10 had for some inexplicable reason left an Intel driver floating around instead of the NVidia so I had to initially disable hardware acceleration for IE to get it to work and then re-install the 64bit NVidia drivers. That also fixed the Firefox instability after rollback.
(Not that big a deal as I only ever use IE for an obscure Oracle VPN sytem I sometimes have to connect to that simply won't work with Firefox despite pleas to Oracle)
Total corruption of Livemail folders, over a day fixing that, there are just over 4Gb of them(best not to ask why)
Defrag no longer working as a gui, only via the command line. Not critical but a severe annoyance as my main drive is a 1tb hybrid and the other 1Tb is just a plain sata though I have an M-Sata also installed but that's just for Linux.
Task Scheduler totally fucked with corrupted entries. Not critical but still not fixed yet.
There's probably a few other things lurking and yet to emerge.
Having said all that, I really would expect a brand new laptop loaded with 10 would be absolutely fine, certainly for most casual consumers who continue to desire such a thing though in all honesty, if all you are doing is primarily browsing, it seems pretty pointless when most Android tablets will do that with simplicity and ease.
So for myself as an IT Pro (whatever that means), no, I see little obvious benefit to moving to 10 yet and anyway, coding or doing any sort of performance analysis using a touch screen is just not a particularly fun experience so all the bells and whistles in 10 are just another layer of complexity I simply don't require.
I like my machines running lean and mean.
