You could choose to stay on Windows 7, that is NT 6.1, and Microsoft will still backport updates from newer kernels such as NT 6.2 and NT 10.0 for the support life of NT 6.1.

>Are these all just 6.1?

Yes. The numbers after the Major.Minor numbers are just revision and build numbers of little consequence for most people.

Are you here for thoughtful conversation or are you just being a Micro$oft Windoze troll? Because I can't tell; I would presume most people here know how to read version numbers.

I had to ask you three(!) times to finally get an answer to a simple question and then you go "major versions are obviously of little consequence; that is why they are called major". Clearly someone is trolling, but it isn't me.
