14" is fine as long as the downsizing buys performance or quality. Yep, I'm a novice. No gaming. Internet mostly.

I too will throw my support behind SSDs. I do IT in a shop with nearly 10,000 PCs to support. After that initial hiccup, they are rock solid and FAST.
Windows 7 lack of security could bite you bad regardless of your financial status. As previously mentioned there are front end software products that will make Windows 10 act and behave just like XP or Win7.
IF you live where Internet is not guaranteed, Windows is worlds better than Chromebook.
Even an i3 processor will perform well with at least 8 GB of RAM and an SSD.
I personally won't go smaller than a 15" display now, and the cost is minimal. Sometimes 15" models are cheaper than 14" models that are otherwise identical.
I second the recommendation to buy directly from Dell too.
During these COVID times, it can be quite a challenge finding good laptops. At least it has been for us. We have had to settle for Lenovo models. They are starting to grow on me. A lot of bang for the buck for sure.
JMHO
It is best to switch to Windows 10 and not sweat it, because at the time of hacking the Windows 7 system is much easier
