    I think it’s 7, idk. I know microsoft was trying to get me to upgrade to a newer version for free a couple of years ago and I told them no.

      If you’re doing anything private on that computer, like social media, banking, cell phone payments, you need to get an operating system that gets current security updates. Windows 7 has not had security updates in 6 years. Malware, ransomware, etc have had 6 years to break Windows 7. Look at Linux Mint, it is a popular distributor, that many find to be a good bridge to get you up and running.
