What does that mean? What do you want to do with it? Start your own business? Get through university? Work at a big company? Provide a workstation for your employees?

In general you want something low-maintenance, idiot proof and interoperable. So you'll want Windows 7 Pro. Win 10 is okay too (as much as it pains me to say it).

Not much else on the market. Linux is awesome, but useless if some piece of essential software doesn't work, if you need to go chasing weird bugs on bash or if your shit doesn't work together with whoever you're working with. XP is a disaster waiting to happen - by now support has ran out for what? 2 years? In terms of IT security it probably provides the equivalent of what a curtain does for home security. And I honestly have no clue about iOS, but it pretty much faces the same problems as mentioned for Linux above.

Maybe the one financial software is built for, Windows?

Try calling tech support for information service XYZ and explaining to them that you use some autistic version of Linux.

This is what I've encountered. You can work on Windows, but you might want to be aware of Linux distributions, where they are used, and why.
