Many years ago when XCOM Enemy Unknown was released I was forced to upgrade to Windows 8 to play it, something to do with DirectX I think. Such a moment has never occurred since, so I'm happily still using Windows 8. Don't fix what isn't broke.

It will again for something. iTunes for some reason REQUIRES Windows 10 now. Why I can't fathom but it does. For games I can't see directstorage being backported to 8 either.
