Do I, as a single person, have the option of buying a non-spyware version of windows 10? I paid $175 for windows 7... I'd pay $300 for a non-spyware version of windows but I don't think I can even buy solo windows 10 enterprise. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/windows-p... Nope.. I can buy pro but I can only try enterprise.

You could buy a VS premium license with MSDN. Or would you still consider that "trying"?

Does the VS premium get me the OS?

The MSDN subscription gets you licenses for almost all MS software, including their OSes.

That would be a downgrade.

Really? Even just the file locking would make it an upgrade, since it would allow you to avoid restaring your PC after upgrades like 30 years ago. What makes Windows internals superior to Unix-based systems?
