I know what you mean, I remain a loyal fan of Win7 Pro despite its alleged demise in 2020.
Nevertheless, Win10 has become the "Win7" of its time and is now nearly 10 years old as well. Win11 is arguably worse, and is unpopular. Microsoft is simply acknowledging the reality that folks don't like it.
So Win10 will in fact die a slow death (software doesn't feel pain, alas).
Windows 7 definitely was my favorite Windows OS. Windows 10 has turned out to be fine with a *LOT* of tweaks and disabling of privacy “features”. My understanding is Windows 11 can’t be secured as well as 10. Windows 10 will be my last Windows OS. Full-time Linux comes next.
I like Win7, and have it on a couple of boxes. Some stuff that’s important to me only runs on Win7. Although you need a 3rd party browser, it’s pretty close to the ‘old’ windows architecture. Win11 I hate. The standard Win11 install is so tightly locked down as shipped you can’t install anything that’s not Microsoft approved.
