Just for the record, I am coming up to 77 myself, and when I said I was running CS2 without problems on W10, I should have said I specifically checked all the things you said were not working, and they are ok here. I have W10 on 2 PCs and a laptop and they are all fine, though I use the two permitted copies of CS6 on two of the machines.<br>
If you have an up-to-date backup of your system, you could do a W10 update safe in the knowledge that you could easily revert to W7 if necessary. But if you really want to hang on to W7, then you might consider reinstalling that, since you have already tried reinstalling CS2.</p>
