EDIT : Plus, how are you going to set up WIndows 7 LEGALLY without a chance of getting scammed? 1. You aren't being forced to use Windows 10. Windows 7 is still supported. I think I saw someone playing Roblox on an XP still.

2. If you are smart then you can turn off Windows updates (if you are talking about Roblox updates, then there's not much you can do about that. Roblox needs to continue evolving, and that includes sometimes changing how scripts work over time and deprecating/introducing new and fun lua functions, which in turn can break older games)

3. Not if you are smart and know what you're doing online

Also, you can legally buy a product key for Windows 7 and continue using that key at any time to download a legal version of Windows 7, as long as you have that product key on you. Yes, Microsoft does allow that, it's on their official website.

1. No way, Roblox isn't playable anymore on XP due to poor driver support, if you try to run it you'll have a message saying your graphics are just too old for Roblox, and there's the fact the support for XP has ended, meaning it's dangerous for your security using something which is deprecated by Microsoft. Windows 7 will die soon, about 1-4 years from now, depending on your version. For most users, 7 will die in the beginning of the next year (2020).

Here's the Windows 7 status: - Mainstream support ended on January 13, 2015. - Extended support until January 14, 2020 (January 2023 for Professional and Enterprise, users will need to pay for security updates).

2. You cannot turn off Windows 10 updates. It has been proven that it is almost impossible to disable it unless you don't have internet connection. If you try to disable/block, Microsoft will enable it again. Even with third-party software like ShutUp10, disabling it will not stop the system to be updated. The only way is to use Winreducer to edit Windows 10 ISO, but in the next big update, everything will be reinstalled (all the stuff, bloatware, telemetry and of course, updates will be again on, so, it's not worth so much effort), it's better to use a opensource alternative like Linux/BSD that respects your privacy and you wills.

3. With Windows, you don't have privacy and Windows 10 is a spyware OS. Just install Wireshark, see what the application ShutUp10 (tries) to block you from, and read the privacy terms and conditions.
