I haven't paid for Windows since 7. 8,8.1 I totally skipped, and they finally handed out 10 for free because nobody wanted it either. And 11 is just a crappy facelift of 10 like 10 was of 8.1 and 8.1 was of 8. Dogshit. Win7 was the greatest OS ever made, but no, they keep releasing more 8 based garbage.
I feel like 10 and 11 was given away to retail users just so they can gather and sell your data, when 7 didn't have that functionality in it.
They are so much worse too, like why do they have this "Settings" page then half the shit you have to go to Control Panel anyway. Either replace it or leave it alone. I don't need two places to screw with settings.
You didn't miss much with 8. I had it on a laptop for a bit. It was Windows 7 with touchscreen icons.
Yea I used 8 at school and hated it. It was built for touch screens not mouse and keyboard, and that nonsense persists thru 11. It takes more clicks to get to things, that's just objectively worse. Not to mention the ugly brutalist look vs 7s sleek and beautiful Aero Glass.
Vista and 7 both are beautiful with Aero Glass. 7 was just and update to Vista really, added DirectX 11 and bugfixes. XP was great too. A little cartoony compared to 7 but much better looking than 8-11.
Windows 10 was easily the worst hot mess of a program I have ever seen. It took easily 4 months of work for me to get a series of tweaks, registry edits and programs that would beat it into submission at my old workplace. And even then, Microsoft made sure that those tweak broke other things.
My only regret is that I cannot boycott MS even harder. They've been doing leftist shit for many many years, and before that they just did shit.

I'd argue that XP was the best they've ever made, and Vista was the best visually.
