So that is how the Rebels got airtight security!

Yeah, Win 8.1 is pretty much ideal for those few little details. Even DirectDraw seems more stable on Windows 8.1 as compared to 7. Yeah, the WEI is just a pain in the butt advertisement I have to see any time I look at my specs.

Nods, that is what Windows 10 is about. Security issues are constantly appearing, exploits are showing up everywhere. It feels like, by the time it is fixed up, they have already moved onto a new exploit. Add the fact that it adds more telemetry and it feels like I am just saying for Microsoft to take my information so the hackers may not. It just isn't a good deal.

Because of the whole Windows as a service thing, Windows 10 is confusing. I am not sure how similar the one I tried in 2015 is to the one out there today. All I know is Windows 8.1 is more reliable, has better performance, and is far more consistent under the hood than what I have seen. And I sure don't trust touching it again until all the horror stories cease, I can't name a person that hasn't had serious issues because of Windows 10.
