XP home requires 125Mbyte of RAM and 1.5gig HDD space, Win7 home requires 2 gig RAM and 16 gig HDD space, every instruction in a line of code requires a fetch cycle from memory or from HDD, every fetch cycle requires a finite amount of time, the more code required to perform a function the longer it takes, memory and HDD speeds are limited and although there are dodges like prefetch to speed things up, you cannot get away from the fact the bigger the OS becomes the more time it takes to do things no matter how much Microsoft tray to brainwash people into believing otherwise.

Mainstream support for Win7 ended on January 13th 2015. Win 8 being a disaster, security support for Win 7 was extended, it ends on 14th January 2020 unless extended again. There is talk of support being extended until 2023, but I have not seen any confirmation of that, maybe that's when Windows 11 is coming out.
