ME and the original 64-Bit edition of Windows XP were the shortest-supported versions.Windows 8.1[]2013–2023[]Typography: Segoe UI RegularLaunched: August 27, 2013Windows 8.1 was released to manufacturing on August 27, 2013, later for general availability on October 17, 2013, which addressed certain criticisms of Windows 8 and also featured certain improvements, such as the improved Start screen, additional Snap views, and the restoration of a visible Start button on the taskbar. This logo was not officially used by Microsoft in advertising (where the default Windows logo was used) nor in the OS (where the Windows 8 logo was used), so it was seldom seen. Mainstream support ended on January 9, 2018, and extended support ended on January 10, 2023.Windows 10[]2015–present[]Typography: Segoe UI RegularMicrosoft officially unveiled the first beta version of Windows 10 on September 30, 2014. The first version of the operating system was released to manufacturing on July 15, 2015, and was later made generally available worldwide on July 29, 2015. Since then, Windows 10 releases new feature updates twice per year (except in 2016, 2022). Windows 10's new features include the return of the Start menu, new versions of Microsoft Store-based apps, multiple desktops, voice assistant Cortana, and the new internet browser Microsoft Edge. New updates include Game Mode, Paint 3D and the new Fluent Design language, which replaced Metro.Support for Windows 10 is scheduled to end on October 14, 2025 (excluding volume licensed editions of 1809 and 21H2). However, Microsoft announced that they will offer paid Extended Security Updates (ESU) support to all versions of Windows 10.[8]This logo was still present in Windows 11 if you accessed the classic Control Panel's System applet. It would later be removed in Windows 11 version 22H2 along with the classic System applet which now redirects you to the Settings app.Windows 11[]2021–present[]Typography: Segoe UI Variable Semi-BoldSegoe UI Semi-Bold (modified)This logo was first leaked on June 15, 2021, and became official when Microsoft announced Windows 11 on June 24 of the same year. Windows 11 was released on October 5, 2021. The logo would be used in tandem with the 2015 logo until Microsoft

Microsoft has time and again iterated how it believes Windows 11 is the best OS for gaming, and in general. For example, when DirectStorage became generally available on PCs, the company promised an "amazing experience" on Windows 11. However, tests, since the early days of the original Windows 11 21H2 release, have shown that certain features on the new OS do hurt the performance, at least when gaming, which is why Microsoft itself has recommended disabling them.General performance aside, there were bugs too, which the tech giant had to acknowledge and block the 22H2 feature update. This was later fixed with an update in December of 2022, and about a month after that, the company released a somewhat awkward video explaining, again, how Windows 11 (22H2 this time) was great for gaming. Ironically, this video was released just a week or so after a Windows 11 vs 10 evaluation showed that the former was not really better. There was barely anything much to separate the two.Gaming aside, Microsoft earlier this year, also summarized the general performance improvements and optimizations it delivered. The company claimed improved Shell performance, among various other things.YouTuber Tech YES City (TYC) recently published a video talking about the performance differences they observed when an Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake i9-13900K CPU was put up against a Core i9-10850K (10th Gen, Comet Lake). Interestingly, in a lot of scenarios, the older CPU pulled up a victory. The general trend showed better snappiness and lower latencies on the older chip. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Intel's collaboration with Microsoft seemed to help as the flagship Intel 13th gen (hybrid) processor was found to often be slightly better under Windows 11, due to special OS scheduler optimizations.To see if it was all down to the architectural shift on Intel's side, independent of the OS, the Comet Lake i9 CPU was once again pitted against itself on Windows 11; and the results suggested Windows 10 was mostly better, at least in the aspects of performance that deal with latencies. In CS:GO, for example, the load times were far superior on Windows 10, which is a poor start for the latest OS. And the mouse input latency was also noticeably worse.​ ​ ​The general snappiness and responsiveness of Windows 10 was also better compared to that in 11:​ ​Opening .mp3 and .mp4 file locations using right-click context menu was also tested and Windows 10 seemed to have a slight edge in this case too:​ ​ ​The one aspect that Windows 11 did score points was in idle power draw, where the Windows 10 PC was consuming around 10% more.​ ​However, in the latency department, which leads to a snappier experience, it looks like Windows
