The newer operating systems from that company have redefined "operating system" from an umbrella program that helps you to run the software on your machine, to a vector for advertising and collection of personal information. On a PC, that is unacceptable.

There's some merit in your observations and I agree Windows 7 is a great OS but really do enjoy Win 10. I managed to turn off the the so-called "Windows as a Service" stuff and find the user experience almost identical to Win 7. I enjoy computers for their own sake and did my graduate work in the area so being on the "bleeding edge" is what I like. I have had Win 10 since January 2015 (was a Beta tester) and not one glitch so far.
Anyway, I got SH4 running perfectly on Win 10. I discovered that not all downloads from the various sources are the same and you may have to hunt for a good one. I ended up with one obtained years ago from an unknown source and it was the "charm". I downloaded the 1.4 version update from this forum thinking (correctly) it would be one I could trust to work. The full screen problem evaporated as if by magic. It may be the choice in sim resolution that is finicky. I'm using 1280 x 800 and looks great on my 2550 x 1600 monitor.
