I wouldn’t say I was thrilled to go to 10. Initial releases were really rough, but it got better really quickly and many of my early complaints were addressed.
11 seems to have stumbled out of the gate and it doesn’t feel to me like any of the even most basic complaints I have will ever be addressed. The taskbar for one still has piss-poor usability and represents a huge (and completely unnecessary) backslide from previous versions of Windows. I also hate that I can’t turn off rounded corners. (Yes it’s a minor thing but it really irks me.)
Yeah, I went to 10 as Microsoft wouldn't sell me new license key for 7. A year or two later I would have had to move for software support.
But if I had to name user facing things that are nicer in 10 than 7, I struggle. I'm left at stuff like.... the win-p project/extend/mirror toggle menu?
Obviously there have been developer facing improvements like modern TLS versions or DirectStorage, but none of them couldn't have been done without the UI or privacy changes
