8.1 was a very different os to 8. it was basically windows 10 light, all the features people were wowed by in 10 originated in 8 and were polished up in 8.1. it made the metro interface optional and brought back the start menu, improved performance, and was altogether a pretty pleasant experience.
I’m always impressed by the level of differences. Printer drivers were a real hassle with 8 and 8.1, and you never knew in advance which driver was for which.

Yup! Our family PC still runs 8.1 with Classic Shell. It’s just 10 but no Edge or ads, and using the fullscreen Settings app is optional.
