W7 MAX here.

Some VMs with XP.

Otherwise Linux Mint, though I think I like 21 better than 22.

I think my first windows version was something under 1.3? I don't remember it now. 5 was an awsome version then came XP in my list of favorites. I still have more computers that will boot XP than any thing else. After that Win 7 is pretty good, the best of the 64 bit OS's of windows that I've ever tried. Win 10 is horribly slow, I've hated it since day one.

I started Linux with Puppy and I'm still a huge fan. I've used Ubuntu, several versions for a decade or more and Debian (running Deb13 Trixie as I type). Years ago I got interested and involved with programs like GNUGuitarinux and digital audio workstations like KXStudio. Anyone who knows about the expensive windows audio studio called Cakewalk might be interested in an entirely free Linux based system doing the same thing...Ahhh, on edit. For free!!!

The main programs that shoehorned me into windows were Autocad 9-13 and later, Quickbooks and Microsoft Office Access.

It's no suprise what Microsoft is doing in subject of this thread. It's always been what the guy in the vidio says. You're not the user you're the product.
