Granted I have an old PC, with old PC parts, but NOT WIN 10!!! Jesus the bugs that I now have because Windows 10 doesn't support my old crap... Windows 7 is honestly what I would suggest.

people always say winodws 10 has bugs which is really not the case. windows 10 in the focus of Microsoft and has access to directx 12, not to mention that windows 7 will no long get any updates (it will still get security patches) it makes no sense as all to get windows 7 other than for the free upgrade to 10.

Actually windows 10 does have bugs, and maybe it's on the driver manufacturer's fault but they are there. My G35 Headset d/c and then connects anytime I press caps lock which can sometimes cause a "Bad Pool Error" and crash my comp, once everyday my video cards just stop working I hear sound but black screens, and numerous other things that have happened all since I went over to Windows 10. I love the OS but I guess my old shit is bugged. Also I can't update my Nvidia drivers because if I do I am stuck at  800x600 resolution and I can't change it due to an incompatible driver so...

really can't blame Microsoft for bad driver support from manufactures.

Not really blaming, but facts are facts. Windows 7 I didn't have issues with my PC, windows 10 I do; so logically my opinion would be that Win 7 is better as I have had less issues with it.

The window for the free win10 upgrade is rapidly shrinking, so might as well get win10, whichever way gets you there cheapest. dx12 isn't in many games, but that will change and dx12 is pretty cool
