My job was late getting off of XP, and is on a crash mission to go to windows 10 by end of this quarter.
Like 18k users, Thousands of pieces of software, 100's of web based interfaces, Thousands of macros and access DB's.
My entire next month is going to be coordinating Win 10 / Office 365 UAT and seed testing for the Divisions i consult.

If you are talking about visually? Yes you can do that rather easily without the need of mods as its built in.
Even the new settings and options have legacy mmcs built into win10 that keep the win7 appearance
And of course windows has always allowed you to change the ui from explorer.exe to any other shell ui you want.
As far as functionality, 10 and 7 are night and day. One of the biggest differences being that many Win10 apps run in a low integrity virtualized sandbox known as "app container".
I could spend 10 paged discussing app container alone, but tldr this makes win10 far more secure and locked down than previous versions of windows. It also breaks the functionality of many older applications so they are foced to run in a non-app container integrity level.
Its clear that the future of Windows is that your OS will be completely virtualized even on your own box.

I've heard that is the plan.
Certainly looks to be that way
Nah, a lot of businesses aren't using xps by choice.
A lot of legacy machinery and equipment still have support software that is only available in XP.
They can do whatever they want but when that application causes OS issues, they cannot come to Microsoft for support unless they are willing to pay about 250,000 for extended support (cost differs based on number of machines and time period).
So their only option is to go to the vendor of said application for support... and if they haven't updated their application since XP, i doubt they even still exist.
The applications that you are talking about are usually internal

It's 2020.
If you still want to run Win7 that's your business but you shouldn't expect the rest of the world to support it.
A lot of businesses still use Windows 7.
