The overall Windows experience since 7 has degraded IMHO - not improved in areas that matter e.g. increased telemetry/tracking, mandatory intrusive updates/patches, confusing menus, UI that keeps getting worse. I abandoned Windows as my mainstay OS many years ago and haven't looked back. I still need to have it around for VR, games and some other niche programs/utilities, but I have no desire to upgrade to 11. </rant>
