It will depend on the school. I worked on my grandson's computer with reference to home school systems and found their own software was very tricky
and demanding and took a great deal of bandwidth. If the school system software demands a particular brand of Windows, you'll have no choice, but be
careful because the software might very well demand an OLDER version. If it's working on Windows 7, leave it alone. Upgrading to windows 10 could
break it.
I have systems running Windows 3.11(!), XP, 7, and 10. Windows 10 has some very irritating traits, including updating without your permission at
inopportune times. The higher you go with Windows, the less control you personally have. Windows 7 is a fine OS and I don't think you really gain
anything with Windows 10. It's just that Microsoft really wants you to go there. I'm on 10 right now, but my other "seven" machines are staying there
until they pry them from my cold, dead fingers. (And, umm, no, I don't use the 3.11 machine, but it still works!)
