Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn't always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?

Windows 7 and 8.1 were good, 8 was a disaster.

I don't mind 10 really, after you disable all the "recommendations". 11 is terrible.

I kept using 7 until the end and only switched to 10 because I had no alternative. But I've been very happy with LTSC.
