I wiped Win10 professional off my system (it came with it) because I was going to partition the drive and the MFT was right in the middle of the drive map. And nothing would make it move.

I'd determined I was only going to leave about 32-40gb on C drive for the operating system so if I had to wipe it again in the future I wouldn't have to move any of my content on the other partitions.

It wouldnt budge, so it got wiped. I tried Win7 and it wouldnt install because of the well known usb drive problems it has.
Tried Ubuntu and actually BROKE the OS after about a week because I screwed up some installation on it and there was no way to undo it.

So I put Win8.1 on from a thumbdrive. Aside from quirks it works. I would rather have Windows 7, but there's no way to install it (no optical, cant hack the setup to include the usb drivers, and now win7 support for programs is diminishing).

The real thing that sucks about Win8.1 and probably Win10 is when I view folders with a bunch of image thumbnails windows doesnt even store a local database (the infamous thumbs.db) in the folders where they're located.
And I get glitches where half of a folder's images wont display their thumbnails for whatever godforsaken reason because its checking some master database file probably in the windows directory.
Thats a real buzzkill for more than just porn, because my spare doom assets are in a giant folder I label "Junk Drawer" with thousands of images and when it decides to misbehave its a huge pain in the ass to find what I was really wanting. Since alot of downloaded images are in random filenames like the ones imgur hands out.
