i'm pretty sure windows 10 works great just as long as you don't install anything else in it...


that's why Mac/apple work great when it came out...nothing existed that you could install in it.


Dos 1.0 worked great...

then people bought virus software before they had a virus...so i had to sell them virues so they can test their virus software.
