Which Windows version was your most favorite and least favorite?

the os i started was Windows 7 when i was a kid in elementary school and it's so nostalgic the startup sound the boot animation the aero everything is so nostalgic

I regretted updating from Windows 7 to Windows 10

We need the windows aero back

I have started with XP and that was way better than 2000 or 98 , I like the colours so much + that start button gave me nostalgia everytime I think about it , currently I am using windows 7 and it's also running well.

To be honest, Win 2000 was for server use mainly :)

My personal experience Windows 2 - The GUI was ground breaking at the time and a lot of fun. I had hours upon hours of fun on this. Windows 3.1 - I absolutely loved this. I thought it was the greatest OS ever! So clear, colourful, professional looking. Loved TrueType on MS Word 2. Windows 95 - Another groundbreaking OS. Loved the start button, Windows Explorer and being able to drag and drop. It did crash a lot though and I missed 3.1 like crazy. Windows 98 - I never really used this, but tried it and it was just like Windows 95 - except the title bar had a gradient and the clouds wallpaper swooshed. Windows ME - my first upgrade from Windows 95 - and it was visually stunning. I loved the menu animations and new icons. It still crashed a lot though just like 95, but I was used to this. Windows XP - what a breath of fresh air this was. It literally never crashed and was visually beautiful. I must have used this OS for 10 years and it remains my favourite even today. Windows Vista - the visual refresh was beautiful. This OS felt very advanced, but the security dialogues were annoying. I was so disappointed that the slide menu animation disappeared. Windows 7 - visually beautiful, just like Vista, but without the annoying security dialogues. I loved this OS and used it for a long time, but missed XP. I hated the new start menu. Windows 8 - I bought a 27" touchscreen monitor for this and it looked and felt amazing. I found that I never used the touchscreen though and eventually, the new style became irritating. Windows 8.1 - literally, Windows 8 but with a start menu and floating Windows over Metro. I welcomed a return to the older style. At this point, I missed 7 though and XP even more. Windows 10 - The new start menu was incredible ! I got comfortable with this OS quickly, even though I was aware of how evil it was - stealing all your data. The new icons looked bad. Windows 11 - worst version of Windows I've ever used. It feels clunky and dumbed down, the start menu is terrible and the evilness present in Windows 10 has been amplified.

15:12 couldn't agree more... windows 11 is disrespectful for number 11... also... the removal of (this PC) is really annoying (type into search on 10 [this pc] it will show all folders.. basically,.. it's not available on 11)

Windows 7 better

My oldest experience was Win XP so I obviously have no clue about the older versions. but I think WIN XP and WIN 7 are the among the top best operating systems and the ones that really made Windows what it is today

I grew up with Windows XP, and I loved it. In fact, on my current gaming laptop, I have my taskbar, start menu, and the windows reskinned to look like Windows XP, cause the look is truly stylish.

For the windows 11 right click context menu, you can get the old one back with a command line if you look it up. Still a terrible change for sure.

I prefer the colourful and more alive UI of windows 11 an file explorer tabs, but thats where windows 11's pros end. 7 was and will always be the best OS ever made

What about Windows 2, Windows 3.0, and Windows 3.1? 3.1 was a landmark version and introduced so many new features!

XP way my favorite. Windows 11 will not run on any of my 9 computers. I did the registry hack on one pc to install it and I have to agree with everything you said about it.

I'd place 98 on par with 2000 because the latter was better when it came to stability, but it lost on games which were mainly DOS-based (that's why many games worked better on 9x), as well as certain programs. Also 2000 was bundled with DirectX 7.

Windows 7 was peak windows. Ever since they started cramming telemetry and shit in, it went straight down the shitter. Luckily there are tools to disable this which make windows 10 arguable better, but unmodified 7 is peak.

I can’t believe that’s the first versions of MAC (2000s) was in competition with the most unbeatable windows ever

if we notice the pattern of bad then good 95 was the bad, 98 was the good ME was the bad, XP was the good Vista was the bad, 7 was the good 8 was the bad, 10 was the good with that in mind, does that mean 11 is the bad, and 12 will be the good?

There was a windows ME 😢, yeah I started with XP too I loved it then. Vista had changes I like but had some glitches I was not a big fan tho but I respect the opinion of those who loved it.

totally agreeing with that list, obviously im too young to know versions like 95 microsoft windows, but those which i know, yeah youre right

Stability of DOS based Windows OSes hugely depended how well made drivers hardware had. Some folks had good luck and some had bad (and a lot of BSODs)

There was pre-downloaded horse vids and I watched them all day at my windows 7 (Laptop still working) I wacthed it after 9 years.... loved it

guys, I started with windows XP, I don't have much memories of it (i was yoo young) but I remember playing a alladin game on it cuz that was the primary task I used that pc for :_). in all tbh I regret loosing that PC :(

XP was a security nightmare

honestly 7 was the last good version of windows, everything after that was just bloated garbage filled with ads and telemetry, and just much harder to use with settings scattered all over the place. unironically, if you take a windows 7 iso and patch it to have things like modern drivers, despite some compatibility issues, it's a much better experience than 10 and 11.

A lot of the information is inaccurate but I still enjoyed the video nonetheless. Windows XP was hands down a legend. Same with 7 and 98.

10 A, 11 F, nothing on S, that's reserved for Linux

watching this vid on xp laptop with mint and win 10 dualbooted

I loved XP, 7 and sadly two years before it's death 8.1. I've a lot nostalgia with XP since I grew with it while in school we used 7 best times ever. And then there's a little nostalgia for Windows 10 since I got it in 2016, never really loved it like XP and 7 but now whenever I see the old Default wallpaper for 10 it gives me nostalgia. Used to be special for a short time to me. Great vid man.

Windows XP was definitely one if you the best versions of windows, However Pre SP2 it did have some major security issues but it was stable,innovative,and reliable and very nostialgic for most and laid alot of the foundation of what versions of windows have today.

My favorites are XP, 7 and 10 😊

I am stuck with my windows 8 (money problems)updated to a 10 but thought windows 7 and XP were better time for a change 3:40

Windows Vista should be A Tier 10 and 11 both F- - Tier for only ONE reason, Updates (and additionally in 11 the wiping of users hard drives causing them to lose all their data)

Used all of them 3.1 98SE. XP 2000 are the goats.

Bruh why Win 10 same rank as Win 8? At lease give him A grade.

According to your refund policy, if there are special reasons or the connection or service cannot be provided, the fee can be refunded proportionally. I bought the product for two months, but I couldn't use it for more than a month. You didn't explain the risk in the advertisement and you haven't been able to repair my connection for more than a month I can't keep waiting! Waste my time and efficiency! I'm asking for a refund now! Otherwise, I will disclose your bad behavior on all websites.

Windows 7 🗿 🍹

I am a kid and I will be nostalgic for Windows 10, but never for Windows 11.

Ohhhh windows 7 yeah

Unable to connect, ask for a refund to find a bunch of reasons, have deleted the account, is a scam product

My top 3 are 7, XP and 2000

What happened to Windows NT 3.51 and NT 4.0? You completely forgot about those. This makes your tier list incomplete.

I used Windows 7 a heck of a lot at school

bruh i already have windows 10 1507 nostaligia

Windows XP meant to me was Xpect Problems.

Please Mr Microsoft bring back windows 7

11's clean start menu is superior to any other Windows version really.

Please fix the connectivity issues with v5.01. Pages like Amazon, KZfaq hesitate to open.. WHY? As soon as I disconnect from the VPN, the pages open normally. All PC's using the VPN behave the same. I should have known better.. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Spend a little more and get something more reliable!

Windows XP. Here in Chile, XP was synonymous with computers. For years and years, you could find XP in internet cafes.

Don't be deceived! Only advertising. The product is so bad that it can't be connected! Fraud software!

You asked for it, you got it. The gold version of XP (so not XP SP1 and up), was insecure if you connected it to the Net.

10/11 are the best I’ve used. Vista and xp sent me to Mac OS in 2011/12. Just now coming back

bro put windows 10 on b tier :(

Windows XP gave me the most blue screens in my life, it was a blue screen festival. Terrible experience. My personal favourites are Win98, Win2000, Win7 and Win10. I skipped Vista back then and waited for the next version which was 7. Windows 8.1 was ok but with a useless interface. I think that my worst experience was with XP and now with 11. They are trash, hands down the worst. For now i'm good with Fedora, Manjaro and Windows 10.

I haven't used 11 yet, because my computer doesn't have the TPM chip so it's not supported even though everything else on the system is good enough. I understand you can get around that requirement but it requires hacks and I heard they keep trying to stop people from doing it with each new version. You also don't get automatic updates and being up to date with security patches is the only reason I have to be interested in 11. I also don't want to risk Tiny11 on my current system. I just bought a Mini PC online that comes with 11, so I guess I'll see for myself, but I'll probably have to immediately download stuff to fix the start menu/taskbar/shortcut menus/etc. If I actually find it decent I might do a full drive image and see if I can get Tiny11 running on my current system. 10 from what I've heard started out good, and was even marketed for its low system requirements and supposedly being good on older hardware, but every (forced)update since then has broken stuff and/or added bloat to the system. 11 Apparently is somewhat the same, as one of the first things a lot of people do is run debloater programs on a fresh install. I actually had ME on my first brand new computer(before that I used garage sale/flea market/thrift store finds). I thought it was mostly fine, but maybe I just didn't have much of a frame of reference. Thinking back I did have quite a few BSODs, and after a few years finding any hardware with compatible drivers was a bit of a nightmare. But I do remember it as the first windows OS that I used that had the hibernate feature, not sure if 2000 had it as I never used 2000. I was actually a little annoyed at the loss of the DOS basis as I had quite a few DOS abandonware games, and I think this was before DOSbox. XP and 7 were both great, not much to say. If I could use them forever I might consider it considering my alternatives are 10/11(won't even mention 8). I've also been trying out Linux, but after 2 decades on windows becoming quite advanced and learning how to customize things extensively and how to troubleshoot and be my own tech support, linux is more than a bit of an adjustment. I can muddle through some things, but other things I've tried to fix things has only made them worse a few times. Some things though work very well once you know how. I have mixed feelings on basically the solution to most problems seeming to involve opening a terminal and often requiring sudo. I've gotten /tons/ of permission errors, which required me to close down a gui program and relaunch it with sudo.

Gotta Disagree with Windows ME rating, I use Windows ME on a Dell Dimension 4100 and it ran ME somewhat flawlessly, it was like vista where it depended on your system specs, like even 128mb of ram could barely run it but the dell we had came with 256mb and ran Windows ME decently especially with it's nVidia graphics card which gave awesome graphics

I still miss the Windows Aero interface in modern versions of Windows.

Live chat not working surfshark need help

The best is Tiny 7 a hacked-up win7 only 1.5G in size runs perfectly.

these ads are bs

Personally I don’t get the hate for windows 8. Yeah the start menu sucks because it’s not designed for desktop use but all you have to do is install classic shell and it fixes that issue. It literally takes less than 5 minutes and once you did that it was a faster and improved version of Windows 7. The explorer shell itself isn’t any different from 7s either and the added support for newer hardware and an overall faster lighter OS was a welcome improvement over 7 and with added features like an improved task manager file transfer dialog box and fast boot made it a nice update in my opinion. If it wasn’t for the start menu nobody would’ve had issues with 8. I think windows 10 was way WAY worse than 8 because the start menu was still trash it was far far slower because it was a highly unoptimized resource hog and not to mention the issues with telemetry and the lack of control with updates random restarts and Microsoft store apps automatically downloading even after being deleted plus them installing it on windows 7/8 pcs without permission during release. In my opinion windows 10 was a disaster and I’m glad we’ve moved on to 11 despite the unnecessarily high system requirements. But thats easy to get past.

Vista it self wasn't bad, it was Microsoft and O.E.Ms not knowing what the word communication is.

XP and 7 is the best, but i disagree that vista is the worst it was stable like xp when i used it and also its ahead of its time with the aero interface and overall it was good for me. Vista deserves to be in the S tier in my opinion

when 2003-2008 I am using windows 98se windows me windows NT windows server 2000 pro windows serverr 2003 windows xp fastest boot os in year 2003-2008 is windows 2000 pro ... very fast boot because lots of bloatware such as accesories games and .net vb tools are not install in first boot.. but at that time windows xp is very best. all games . and all new hardware supported by xp and most manufacturer gives drivers to xp ( hardware = printer , cameras .. etc .. handheld cameras not like todays which present on top of screen of mobile or monitors )

Vista was aesthetically pleasing but functionally a dumpsterfire. UAC needed to at least consider shutting up on occasion, and the little desktop gadgets contained a security exploit iirc. But my family had a top-of-the-line PC back in the day (my mom used to edit videos and make Flash content back then, and she's still a gamer even today) and that meant Vista had a clear runway to take flight from. Also, yes, UAC, I want this program to make changes to my computer. Stop asking.

bro is good at rating tho

Ah, Windows ME, I Never Used Windows MISTAKE EDITION™®© Vista? Better than XP -No-one ever

İ am a Linux user and i loved Win7 and Win10 but Win11 was basically Win8. My old Laptop (Casper Nirvana Notebook 1.0) cannot handle very hard tasks on Win10 and i could not upgrade to Win11, but even if i could i wouldn't beacuse of the telemtry and stuff My laptop run 5/10X better with Linux and playing games like Hades is very smooth (Always 60Fps)

I mean windows 10 deserves more tha B it deserves S bc just install another antivirus or use defender by windows and its better in features + its modern

I Actually Loved Windows ME It Was My Childhood Favorite Is It Worked Better Than Windows 3.1 Windows 95 Windows 98 And Windows 2000 Windows ME Runs Great On Intel Processors In My Experience But Not So Much On AMD Processors

You completely forgot Windows 3 / 3.1

Tbh Microsoft hasn’t made a windows OS as amazing as Windows Vista in years like I mean, Windows, 10 and Windows 11, and Windows 7, and Windows XP are good, but not as good as Windows Vista

I'm staying on Windows 10, Windows 11 sucks with spying

I still use windows 7 lol

why does EVERYONE hate the UWP rightclick context menu in win 11???

Actually, Clippy showed up for the first time in Office 97 family, and we hate it. 😄

Vista was just too early to come, it's actually decent

i actually liked windows 8

Windows 10 and 11 is the best os ever much better than overrated windows 7

Windows XP the best

I’m using Windows 11

5:14 actually 2000 was a business oriented OS it was never meant for consumers

I do like the design and the Icons of Windows 11 and alot of it's new features but I hated the start menu and the size of the taskbar to fix this I use a program called Start all back which made my start menu similar to Windows 7 but with a Windows 11 theme to it

my school use windows 10

My Favorite version is 8.1 (with startisback). Because it very stable and run a lot faster than XP/Vista/7/10/11 in the same Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM. 2nd. 2000 Pro. Still, it run stable and faster than any newer version 3rd. 10 (IoT Enterprise LTSC). This version has no bloatware and only have security updates. It faster then Vista/7. 4th. Vista and 7. Slow! It used lot of storage.(clean install used 39GB) 5th. 10(SAC) Bloat, slow, buggy and no privacy. 6th. 11. Too Bloat, too slow, too laggy, ton of bugs, always freeze in right click menu. Hate: Millennium. ruins everything No comment of 98 and older cuz never use these before.

didn't mention windows 98 second edition which was the first windows operating system that offered WIFI.

My first laptop had Windows 7

windows vista belongs in the F box I had nothing but windows BSOD and i didnt have a virus and there was no probs with my hardware and windows vista was a memory hog

Windows 8.1 I will give A

Windows 10 Is So good

Why put Windows 8 on F? Maybe you should've put on C. I was bad but it with third-party programs, it solves the issue.

I agree with these rankings 100%.

Windows 11 is S-Tier. S as in S---

Windows 11 absolutely A tier, I agree with the rest of your list to a T though.

Je ne peux pas donner d'avis puisque je fait parti des 15% du sondage PC-Mac-Linux 😀

14:26 But only on SSD

Ahem

Windows 11 is definently S tier. Why? Ilike the new GUI desig and on my old laptop runs petter than windows 10 (and the lapotp is unsupported)

W comparison
