Apparently GSync requires Win10. Does FreeSync as well or does it work on Win7?

For example here:

Also when I search for "gsync win7", I find various forums and reddits where people are told to use Win10.
I'm asking since I don't see the GSync option in NVidia's control panel, but that might be because I've been using NVSlimmer when installing GPU drivers for a while now?

Ok so I've read a bunch and it seems "
it requires Win10" because I'm trying to run a "G-Sync Compatible" Monitor (LG 27GL850), aka AdaptiveSync.
So the way I see it, I can either:
- sell my NVidia GPU and buy an AMD GPU

Wow, so AMD supports Win 7 but Nvidia doesn't? That's f'd up!
If I were you I'd go for Win 10 Enterprise LTSC or Home using some cheap OEM license, but all three of those options suck. I chose #1 because I'm using a regular 60 Hz monitor, so not much benefit for me anyway.
