Exactly!
I work at a company that read the terms and conditions of win10 and they just said 'NO'
But I game as well so I want to run the best hardware on win7 with DX12.
What are the best options?

Beware that win7 does not have USB3 drivers on the install file.

You're still going to have a hard time finding device drivers for hardware designed for Windows 10. You might get the OS running, but you might be without sound, or wireless, or any number of things.

If you absolutely MUST have Windows 7, look for the newest used PC with Windows 7 that you can find.

I thought win 7 doesn't have update support anymore?

Can you even still get a new machine with that installed?

I've had no problems with win10 on my newer gaming rig, I prefer the layout of 7 but it is what it is.

No. Sorry, win10. I see your dilema. The USB is an issue.

Update your code - silly to try struggling with legacy code for a platform that is already past EOL (End Of Life.)

Port or rewrite what you need to, continue on. And before you ask, EVERY version if Windows since XP has spied on you, Win 10 is no worse, but DEFINITELY no better, than others in that respect.

Hint - your Smart Watch, Thermostat and phone do the same thing.
