My Lenovo ideapad 3 originally came with Microsoft Windows 11, but the device's hardware was Built For Microsoft Windows 10. Hence I downgraded to Microsoft Windows 10, 22H2, and enrolled for ESU To stay safe. But then previously I had a HP PC Which Came with Microsoft Windows 8, and Upgraded to Microsoft Windows 10, 1507. I hence wanted to revisit that young time of my life, and since it is very dangerous to use this on the internet, daily driving it would be very, very hard. Therefore, I want to Clean Install that Operating System onto my PC, use it for about a Day, (Worst case, 2 days) and then use the Microsoft Windows 10 Update Assistant to Upgrade back to the latest version, and then, upgrade back to Windows 11, on January 1, 2028. I need the help of the one and only Windows team to do this and I promise, I will Upgrade back to Windows 10's latest version after just using it for 1 day, I shall not blame the Windows team if at all I get hacked and accept that I am at complete risk for using the outdated Operating System. Please help me do this. I shall not even connect to the internet except when I am Updating back to Windows 10's Latest version. But I do need help on how to Install drivers for touchpad and stuff. That's it.

It's easier to manually find the drivers from the Lenovo Support page and search with the Serial Number the model from it's back, filter with what OS are you using and should find the correct up to date driver.
There is no native method provided by Microsoft to install Windows 10 version 1507 these days, it is 11 years out of date, Windows 10 is no longer in support and they only provide the download for version 25H2 on their website, the only way to install that version is to search some online software archive to find the 1507 ISO for Windows, 10, and if you do that, scan the ISO to ensure it is clean and does not contain malware.
So, you are pretty much saying that using Windows 10 on my computer, let alone 1507 is not recommended and that I should just install Windows 11 on that right?
Does this mean it is not recommended even if I use the latest version of Microsoft Windows 10 with ESU It is best to upgrade if my PC Meets all requirements right?
Sorry, I was offline, you can continue to use the latest version (25H2) of Windows 10 if that is your preference, Microsoft will continue to provide extended security updates to Windows 10 up to October 2027, however, if your system is Windows 11 compatible, that really would be the best version of Windows for your device.
Yes, it does, well, even though I want Windows 10, if you say so, let's do this.
