It's been 13 years since Windows 8 (not to be confused with Windows 8.1) released to the public. Arguably the last time Windows peaked in terms of optimizations compared to *cough* newer versions of Windows *cough*

Crazy how Microsoft once proudly displayed a section showing off what people have said about Windows 7 from social medias on the front page of the Windows website.
Imagine if they still did it this today...

Windows 10's final hurrah for Windows Updates without being enrolled for Extended Security Updates.

Windows 10's final hurrah for Windows Updates without being enrolled for Extended Security Updates.
Today, Windows 10... LTSB 2015 reaches end of support.
It was the oldest Windows 10 version supported, based on version 1507 (aka Windows 10 RTM).
It had plenty of leftovers such as the DirectUI start menu from the early Windows 10 Betas and the Start screen from Windows 8.1.

Despite Microsoft's plans on removing the BypassNRO file since March 2025.
"oobe\bypassnro" still lives on in the official Windows 11 Version 25H2 (aka Windows 11 2025 Update) ISO release from Microsoft.
Just remember to disconnect from the internet first before running it. 😉
