Lmao i only knew they could stop supporting windows 7, people uae more windows 7 than windows 8
WTF is Windows 8.1?
The un-fucking of Windows 8 release
It actually was a pretty useable OS most of the time
I used 8.1 all the way until around 2019, when I finally relented and switched to 10 (on 11 now). Take Windows 7 and 10, and do a "greatest hits" edition, and you have 8.1. It was basically 7 with some features that went into 10 mixed in. A fine OS for daily driving.
I would have used it for longer; only upgraded because you'd run into random little issues and bugs with various programs cause no one used it.
What are the features that 10 has? A different separate control panel?
Only lasted a year though, before Windows 10 came.
Windows 8.1 was a major update that undid a lot of UI updates that people didn't like after 7
I had already uninstalled and replaced it with 7.
Soon Windows 10.1
The fix for the god awful TileOS decision.
Launching 8 for the first time was almost as bad as time I first experienced vista, so I can understand there being fewer 8 users.
