Mu understanding. Windows 10, underneath the new (Well, Windows 7) interface was really still Windows 8.

I never had a machine with Windows 8. I have had exactly ONE windows computer with a touch screen. I specifically buy non-touch screen laptops. Maybe one day, but not today.

The closest to a Windows Tablet I might consider is a Lenovo Yoga.
