Anything banned in China has some credibility with me, but it stopped receiving CPU compatibility updates in 2016 and after multiple extensions the last supported versions hit EOL in 2023.
8.1 was a very different os to 8. it was basically windows 10 light, all the features people were wowed by in 10 originated in 8 and were polished up in 8.1. it made the metro interface optional and brought back the start menu, improved performance, and was altogether a pretty pleasant experience.
Windows 8.1 exists.

8.1. That’s different. It was also IIRC the last Windows version without any sort of AI, enforced telemetry or any of that crap.
