The last version is aptly named...
Windows POS... Aptly named if you ask me.
Besides, I moved from XP directly to 10. The main reason being that I had bought a new mother board which has only SATA on it, and Windows XP does not support SATA out of the box, and the board does not even have a floppy disk interface. So I had to slipstream the SATA drivers onto the install media so I could get it to install. The the other big issue is that the 32-bit became very limiting.
