For what I have read on Windows 10 it will repeatedly reload what it thinks your hardware driver should be regardless if it works or not. Therefore, it may repeatedly undo your efforts to get a functioning driver. I think the people with the “Enterprise Ed” of Win 10 may have more control on this. If this is true I hope this is sorted out soon!
I too will for now stick to Win 7 but according to Microsoft it's "Mainstream support" ended in January 13, 2015 (no new functionality or additions will be added) and Win 7's "Extended Support" (security fixes) will end in January 14, 2020. This is not including the problems that Intel CPUs from "Skylake" (due out later this year), Kabylake & Cannonlake will have with Windows 7 (loss of certain USB functionality) as Microsoft has stated (according to some websites) it will not provide a patch for Windows 7 to address this issue.
By the way, Windows 10 "Mainstream Support" ends on October 13, 2020 and its "Extended Support" ends on October 14, 2025.
