Ok. You 'thought' something. And 'preferred'. Iīm thinking many things too. And I know, some people (including madshi) prefer Windows 8 / 8.1. I prefer Windows 10. Like I said - preferences.

In my opinion you can use Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 for a HTPC. I never used Windows 8, but 7 and 10. And I always could use all madVR features that I wanted to use.
I donīt think that something is missing in Windows 8.1 and I never claimed something like that.
In my personal setup I came across problems with Windows 10 1903. If I want to eliminate those problems at this moment, I can simply revert to Windows 10 1809, I personally donīt have to revert to Windows 8.1.
In my setup I donīt have any problems with Windows 10 1809, so I can say that Windows 10 1809 is a working OS for my setup.
So for me I canīt say that 8.1 is something preferred or 'better' than 10 because what is better than having no problems?
Itīs the same matter like many people stick to a GPU driver that they experience as working/flawless for them. My fault was that I didnīt stick with 1809. That has nothing to do with a general 8 vs. 10 debate.
So now Iīve posted a lot again and 'provided' my opinion. I can definitely live with your opinion (why not) maybe you can live with mine
