Could be, but I had lots of complaints about Vista, and 7 worked much better for me.

I stuck on 7 for a long time, not because I was waiting for 11, but because I was waiting for some annoyances with 10 to get addressed.

I still would rather have an updated W7 than W10 or W11.

Updated means - security updates, clipboard manager, dism (W7's dism was limited).
