Or just don’t use IE. Or use IE, they aren’t deleting the old ones, they just aren’t supporting them anymore. People have this hallucinatory concept of what EOL means, it doesn’t actually kill the product, it just means you’re on your own.

Never liked Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 was only slightly better. Full screen apps with no windows, mysterious swiping from edges of screen to do random things, etc. Yuk. I guess I'm one of the rare fans of the metro tiles, although for a traditional deskside/desktop machine I much prefer the Windows desktop user interface with picture backgrounds and shortcuts.
Windows 10 is another story. I like it quite a bit - sort of a "best of" Win8.1 and Win7 combined. I upgraded my Win8.1 laptop and all 4 Win7 desktops in my house to Windows 10 without any issues. Improvements all around.
Edge is OK, but I still mostly use Pale Moon, which upgraded from Win7 to Win10 along with everything else without a hitch. The nice default windows desktop is still there from Win7 (returned from Win8.1), the cool tiles show up in the start menu now instead (a colorful, active touch), and everything runs in actual windows again!
