10 is not good. Never was.
It's good when compared to 11, but it should be remembered as the point where Microsoft started pushing the Ads and offers to the max, along with the bullshit Settings getting reset between updates.
If you ever felt Microsoft owned your computer instead of you, remember this started on 10.

The last truly good OS was 7. 10 is only good in comparison to 8 and 11
