This is getting off topic (ooRexx on Windows versions) but briefly: Like most people I liked Windows 7 for is useful GUI and hated W8 for the opposite reason. W10 brought some usefulness back but I always add Classic Shell to it to make it more like W7. Hint for Mike.
W10 is IMO really stable by now and I have it running for weeks without getting messed up. Compared to W7 where I had to reboot daily it is an improvement. Also it is not getting gobbled up with garbage so I do not have to reinstall it every year as I had to do with W7. I had a Windows 8 copy standing unused in its box (like most W8 copies :-) ) so I thought I could put it to use for ooRexx. I am having some problems running the test framework, unclear why. See Ticket 1774 for details. It might be related to the fact that I am using a newer Visual Studio version than the official W10 Jenkins build machine. Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, P.O.
