Older Versions of Windows / General Windows Discussion

Howdy everyone,

Is anyone still running older versions of Windows? Does anyone dual-boot a modern Windows with an older version?

I have a home-built desktop with 8.1. I've started toying with the idea of either dual booting 8.1 and Vista (I really liked Vista ) or even possibly reverting to Vista.

I've been considering this for two reasons really. First, both 10 and 8.1 are getting on my nerves with the Microsoft ads they've inserted. On 8.1 I've been getting the "UPGRADE TO WIN 10! HEY! UPGRADE!" and on the laptop I get ads for Office and maybe a few other things.

The other reason is the giant pile of old games sitting on my desk. I know I've had problems with a couple of them on 8.1, so I'm thinking Vista might handle them better (or even XP, but to be honest I'm not really big on XP) without me having to build a pc dedicated to old games.
