End of support only means that there will be no more updates.
Win 7 will work as it does today.
I still have an old laptop with win XP. It works as it did before M$ support ended.
I have already recovered a windows.old
Does windows old has all files and folders of a win 7 installation? How big is Windows.old folder?
If windows.old folder has all files and folders from your previous Win 7 installation, you can recover.
- Backup all your data on an external disk.
- Backup windows.old on an external disk.
- Boot a Linux USB disk or Kyhi excellent tool. Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk
- With Explorer delete all Win 10 files and folders and with mini tool partition delete other partitions (like Recovery) leaving on only Windows.old folder.
- Extract all files and folders from Windows old folder to C:\
- Make sure the windows partition is set as Active.
- Reboot. It should boot from your previous win 7
