Topic explains everything pretty much. Should I stay with Windows 10 or go back to 7? Which is better for gaming and which is faster/more lightweight?

Windows 10 is faster and more lightweight. Gaming will be better on Windows 10 with more games supporting DX 12 coming out  too. When it comes to DX 11 gaming thought here really isn't a difference. But Windows 10 does offer compatibility mode so if something does run better on Windows 7 then you can run it in compatibility mode with Win7 to get the performance you want without needing two operating systems. 

 

Whether or not you switch back is up to you. Just remember next month you won't be able to upgrade back if you decide you want Windows 10 again. You'll have to buy Windows 10.

Windows 10 hands-down.  I actually reverted one of my machines after a few months of Windows 10 operation, and woah, it was horrible.  Actually the "Windows Update" system is so broken on Windows 7 that I couldn't even get Windows 7 to apply updates anymore.  Windows 10 is an improvement in almost all possible ways.
