I bought a new HP computer 2 months ago specifically to get one with Windows 7 Pro. It has an Intel i7 four core processor. I also have a 4 year old HP with an AMD 2 core processor. I have not had an issue with either one.
The latest purchase was made to pass the AMD 2 core on to my wife and replace the 13 year old HP XP machine she was using for her emails and limited surfing. The XP still runs fine and will become an experimental Linux machine for the purpose of learning.
I will add that the HP bloatware is removed from all of them. It's the first thing I do. There is nothing that relates to HP on any of my machines with the exception of the HP propriety drivers. The removal of that bloatware made a significant difference in operation of all of them.
If your looking for a gaming system then building your own would be far more cost effective I believe. I don't use mine for games.
I don't think Win10 is like Win7.
