Windows 9 was named Windows 8.1
But I agree, the good Windows versions were XP, 7, and 8.1
Basically the "R2" versions of windows are the best, as they are named in the server editions.
Windows Server 2003 R2
Windows Server 2008 R2 (Window 7)
Windows Server 2012 R2 (Window 8.1)
Back on the original topic, these Windows 10 "updates" (that as we know are more like new installations) do a decent job of preserving the previous configuration, and are probably fine for a typical home user who just uses a browser and maybe office applications. But these updates mess up quite a few items for me, it takes a week or so for me to find all the broken stuff and fix it after an update, and a few I cannot even fix. I have begun to document (for myself) all the fixes I have redo after an update so I can do them without spending as much time searching the Internet all over again!
