Hopefully I'm not befitting of the term "Help Vampire" as I did see on another post, but I'm in need of some proper guidance since it's a bit confusing navigating everything here to find what I need.
Right off the bat, I've upgraded to windows ten just in the last couple of days. I've been using 7 for the longest time, but was finally forced to upgrade due to my new hardware physically not having drivers for anything older than 10 as far as I could tell. I'm pretty much newly jumping into this firepit of an OS, and I've not enjoyed a single moment of it.
My questions pretty much sum to this:
What version of Windows 10 is considered the best, both in function, and compatibility with software on this forum?
How does one downgrade to that version specifically?
And while I'm sure I could find something that works, if it's not too much trouble, what are the most recommended software for the most authentic 95/98 era feeling OS?
I've already tried a few on the site, Classic Taskbar, SimpleClassicTheme, ClassicShell (Long time user of that one), and various others, many of which outright won't open after installation like a Volume Control changer, or won't even install like a T-Clock I grabbed, so I'm just very much lost with how to go about things. Hopefully I'm not asking too much since I have spent the past couple days trying to figure things out myself, but still am so woefully unknowledgeable of things at the moment with dead ends on information starting to be more prominent.

Explorer will not work with 1809. 2 : Get a ISO of that version and burn it to something that is bootable. Then you can reinstall Windows. 3 : For the most authentic 95/98 era experience, a lot of programs are needed.
