I had same question when Win10 first appeared, so I carefully benchmarked Win10 vs Win8.1 and Win7, on identical systems, in both upgrade and clean-install versions.
I wrote a full feature article about it. You can read it here: https://langa.com/?p=2366
Want the short form? In these real-life tests with identical hardware, Win10 was actually slightly faster than either Win7 or Win8!
Plus, Win10 is fully current with standards and tech; while Win7 is in its final months, and will no longer be supported in less than a year.
So the answer is yes; Win10 was and is better than Win7 in almost every regard.
Really, there are few reasons to stick with a 10-year-old OS!
