When you say you can no longer format it on windows, why not? What's preventing you? Is there an error message?
And why oh why are you on windows 7??? Seriously, MAjOR security issues!??

But that's irrelevant, it's out of support, doesn't receive security updates, so it's completely open, there's no protection, not even if you're using anti virus, can't do anything because the OS underneath is completely unprotected.
You can make Windows 10 or 11 look exactly the same as windows 7.
It's like saying I prefer that 3 month old bottle of milk so I'm going to drink that rather than buying a new one because they changed the label, even though it's off and will poison me.
I'm afraid I can't give any support on Windows 7, as it's gonna be buggy as hell as it hasn't been in support now for 2 years.
Is there a way to update to pc from windows 7 to 10 without losing data.

Yes, same with any OS upgrade. Windows 10 is no different to any version of windows when it comes to upgrading other than it's easier and quicker.
But it's too late now, your system will be a complete mess and beyond repair. You'd have to do a clean install.
Is it better to get windows 11 or 10 and how much does it cost?

Windows 10 is only supported for another 2 years or so.
Windows 11 requires modern hardware so you probably won't be able to install it anyway.
The cost depends on where you buy it, if it's a legitimate copy or stolen.

Do you have a link? Windows desktop is the desktop in Windows afaik, I've never heard of a standalone program with that name.
I mean my desktop is from 2013 I bought it from here (my dads pc from 2008 im going to leave but im going to have a word with him, money is tight right now)
My desktop specs are:
| Processor (CPU) | Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-3770 (3.4GHz) 8MB Cache |
| Motherboard | ASUS® P8Z77-V: PCI-E 3.0 READY, WIFI, SLI, CROSSFIREX |
| Memory (RAM) | 16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (4 x 4GB KIT) |
| Graphics Card | 4GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 690 DUAL GPU - 3 x DVI-I, 1 x mDP |

Sorry, you asked this:
I don't know what program you're referring to?
Sorry Im getting my words mixed up, When I say Windows desktop from 2015 i mean I bought desktop in 2015 (looked my email from pcspecialist.co.uk and its was bought in 2013 not 2015)
Does this make sense? i got learning difficulties and mixed up easy.

I'm running Windows 10 home, on the computer specs in my sig'.
It's running perfectly well.
I fitted a new 1TB SSD and installed W10 onto it. But left all my data on the HDDs already inside the case.
Win 10 picked up the other drives and data with no problem what-so-ever.
This computer isn't Windows 11 compliant, so can't have it installed.

So shall i just get windows 10 for now and get a new desktop next year?

It's your only option unless you buy a new PC now.
other question is there a way to see if email passwords are compromised?

Any account that you've logged onto on that computer is likely been harvested by now, that's the whole point, the OS is out of support so it has absolutely zero protection. Just navigating to a website is enough to infect the computer.
How to Check if Your Password Has Been Stolen
Many websites have leaked passwords. Attackers can download databases of usernames and passwords and use them to “hack” your accounts. This is why you shouldn’t reuse passwords for important websites, because a leak by one site can give attackers everything they need to sign into other accounts.
