o.uk...
Courtesy of a borrowed desktop PC I've now been able to spend some time
comparing Windows 7 and 10 side by side, and it's clear that though there
are certainly some look-and-feel aspects of Win10 that I like and possibly
even consider superior to their Win7 equivalents, overall, for my
particular uses and purposes, Win7 is the better choice for me.

That isnt really much of a comparison. You really need to use the
new one for a few months to be sure that it is worse for you.

Now I do make extensive use of the internet, I do use online banking, and
I'm aware of the possible security implications.

I do most of the online banking on the smartphone now.

And if I do experience any problems which might not have happened with
Win10 it's possible that I'll regret the decision - and if and when I post
a call for help here, please feel free, one and all, to say that you told
me so. But until that day I'm content that I've made the right choice.

I still use Win7 most of the time, but that's because a couple
of the things I use every day don't work on Win10 but I do
have a separate Win10 system available for what needs it.

Many thanks to everyone who chipped in with thoughts and suggestions, all
of which were much appreciated.

Thanks for the washup, not common enough imo.
