It depends on what you value most. If stability and reliability matter, an older OS might still work well. Otherwise, a modern OS offers better security and features.

They lack features popular with regular users—like the Microsoft Store or the fun weather widget in Windows 10/11—but for those who don’t mind a $1200 license, they function nearly identically to other Windows versions, and all apps require installation regardless of user type.
