Becuz 8.1 have such a bad reputation that MS just wanna sweep the whole thing under the rug ASAP. 10 is doing relatively fine up till the November 2019 build update and then it's one messy monthly update after another. You'd think the intern team has taken over the development or something.

7 is self-explanatory enough.

I have to agree with that, i've been updating from windows 10 version one after another (from 8.1 mind you) for almost 5 years flawlessly, never an issue, never even needed to do a fresh reinstall, still runs like a dream.

Untill this may 2020 update that still hasnt been offered to my system and just says "the update is coming, it will appear here when ready for your system".. which i guess is a slight improvement over "its coming but your system isnt ready yet? You dont have to do anything".. uh what?

Microsoft has dropped the ball.
