    Do you keep around Windows 10 for special uses, features, or preferred ways of doing things, is there anything it does better than 11? I'm assuming use on older hardware might be an issue, I assume the hardware locks are patched out of nearly everything but if performance was slower maybe that'd be a reason. Like I know there is no 32bit version of Windows 11 (and I actually have a use for a 32bit Win10 on one of my machines tho right now it's on Win 7) but what else drops off the radar...

    My top use is continuing to use Adobe CC while in college and theyre forcing my current OS upgrade - tho all my hardware is still older than the 8th gen Coffee Lake stuff Win11 prefers me to have. (Broadwell machines still support all Adobe CC in 2025 with AVX2 and I wasn't looking to upgrade if it's only Windows kvetching)

    I'd seen/started discussions about Adobe support on other Win10 versions before like LTSB/LTSC which isn't officially supported, I assume Win11 LTSC is no different, I assume it should work on Server tho hadn't tried... i'm not sure whether any of the ISO modifying might break things Adobe needs/limit which altered ISO installs work best too! I'd like to decrapify everything but I don't even know what all the additions do or if Adobe requires any of them...

    Most present Windows 7 users definitely are for special purpose on Windows 7.

    For them, Windows 10/11 is completely different world.

    my computers have moved to 8th/9th/10th gen CPUs while still running Windows 7. Last computer with Kaby Lake was disposed this March.
    my computers are mainly running python scripts and excel macros. when change to Windows 10/11, the code needs re-working. unaffordable to me. best solution is to stay with those computer being able to run Windows 7.
