Last retail copy of Windows 7

[Porthos]

I gotta admit, as a few years go by using Win10...I find it solid, reliable, quick. And still in the "discovering new things" about it. In a few more years I'll probably say I find it MS's best OS yet.

Me too. My main like is you can easily move from one computer to another without blue screens because of drivers.
My main dislike- You cant do a repair install if Windows does not boot enough to run an inplace repair.
A nuke becomes necessary.

A nuke becomes necessary.

But a N&P has become so easy and fast in Win10. I have to admit, I groan any time I have to use any OS (except Mint Mate) other than Win10. Add to that the built in troubleshooters that have actually become quite helpful at times and the full implementation of DISM and Win10 has some really nice improvements under the hood.

For home users, I have no issue nuking unless they have wierd/difficult software to deal with. I always try to get those clients to keep image backups.

the full implementation of DISM

I use a tool called Image Health to automate DISM. https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/248-image-health/
