I have a question for you friend... Can you access the port assignment list in windows 10? A comparison of this port list in Win 10 up against a default install of a Linux Distro would speak for it’s self... :)
I would love to have this truth revealed. If I could get a hold of a Win 10 port assignment list I would do the homework and post a comparison. I ask you because you are so deeply knowledgeable about both. :)
What you're looking for is the "netstat" command, which is available in both Windows 10 and Linux. The command line options are different but you can get a list of active ports easily with either one.
Linux: netstat --help
Windows: netstat /?
