Something like this would've been awesome a decade ago for Windows 8 when I was doing testing on netbooks with poor hardware.

I'm on Windows 10. After running O&O ShutUp10, this OS has been as good as Windows 7. I can do all my software dev, gaming, video editing/graphic design, etc. on this operating system without issue. I don't think it's ever crashed on me. It genuinely makes me curious what kind of issues people are running into. After all these years being a power user of Windows, so far it's been a smooth ride. The last time I had trouble was with Windows XP and Windows ME before that. I skipped Vista and Windows 8 (except for working on netbooks at Intel back in the day).

I tried Windows 11 in October 2021 and it was an awful mess. Tried too hard to appeal to MacOS and Linux users when that ship has long sailed. Not sure what state it's in now, but I've got no plans to upgrade until I either buy a new device or until Windows 10 gets some serious security vulnerability that's not on Windows 11.
