Windows 7. This PC is from 2012, Last year I bough a new one (custom build) for a bit more than 4000 Euros (~$4700) with Windows 10. I absolutely hate Windows 10 and thus I hardly use it. It functions more as a back-up, especially for my data.
As long as this PC works, I'll stay with it, and when it crashes...then be it. A blue screen of death happen once a year.
PS: I also hate the cell phone versions of home pages and always scroll down to change it to the desktop version I'm used to, and which provides you a much better overview. So the idea to turn Windows 8 PCs into a large cell phone version with all it limitations was utter BS to me.
Wiki on it:
I have no love for the tiles. I want my icons, the ones I created and were placed where I wanted them to be, and a start button with a list(!) of all(!) programs.
But else I want to see my wallpaper, not tiles.

Wiki on it:
The interface of Windows 8 has been the subject of negative reaction. Bright wrote that its system of hot corners and edge swiping "wasn't very obvious" due to the lack of instructions provided by the operating system on the functions accessed through the user interface, even by the video tutorial added on the RTM release (which only instructed users to point at corners of the screen or swipe from its sides).[...] and was awkward to use with a keyboard and mouse. He noted that while forcing all users to use the new touch-oriented interface was a risky move for Microsoft as a whole, it was necessary in order to push development of apps for the Windows Store.
WTF?!
Others, such as Adrian Kingsley-Hughes from ZDNet, considered the interface to be "clumsy and impractical" due to its inconsistent design (going as far as considering it "two operating systems unceremoniously bolted together"), and concluded that "Windows 8 wasn't born out of a need or demand; it was born out of a desire on Microsoft's part to exert its will on the PC industry and decide to shape it in a direction—touch and tablets – that allows it to compete against, and remain relevant in the face of Apple's iPad."[181]
The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) reported a decline in Microsoft's customer satisfaction, the lowest it has been since Windows Vista.[183]
