So it's hardly surprising that an older system get's screwed up big time when unlimited fixes for this problem or that problem, which didn't even exist before accepting an update.
I don't know what operating systems you think people are using but this is nonsense and you could have checked this yourself. Ignoring Vista (no longer supported) the minimum requirements for Windows 7 and Windows 10 to run properly are exactly the same.
From Microsoft's web site:
WIN 7
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor*
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.
Win 10
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster.
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Free hard disk space: 16 GB.
Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver.
As for the "vast amounts of data"? the programs the operating systems use are exactly the same. Why should the amount of data vary? A slower machine just takes longer.
Just for completeness here are the figures for Vista:
Vista
800-megahertz (MHz) 32-bit (x86) processor or 800-MHz 64-bit (x64) processor.
512 megabytes (MB) of system memory. ...
DirectX 9-class graphics card.
32 MB of graphics memory.
20-gigabyte (GB) hard disk that has 15 GB of free hard disk space.
Internal or external DVD drive.
Internet access capability.
Audio output capability.
Hardly a startling difference is it?
