I liked XP Pro, even better if you were one of the rare ones to install the 64-bit version, because the predominant 32-bit version could only support up to 4 GB of RAM. The other limitation with XP was that it could only recognize up to a 2 TB drive. My favorite OS'es were XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro, but I was forced to upgrade some of my computers to Win 11 because essential software I needed for music recording and some games would only work on 11. I hate how 11 wants to take control of everything and seems more aimed to the cellphone/tablet touchscreen-and-swipe crowd than the performance enthusiast.

And as I stated on another post, Turbo Tax 2025 will not run on Windows 10! My desktop with thirteen years worth
of files is useless. I'll have to transfer them to my laptop with Windows 11 to do my taxes. Just sayin'

Not around here! I shop around for the best deal starting just after Thanksgiving.
Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.

My son uses it and it seems great til he goes to file and get his refund and then extra fees start adding up. $$$$
