Windows 8 didn't work well without a
touchscreen. Windows 10 does. Our work laptops
have touchscreens. Nobody uses them.

Win 8 worked fine without a touch screen if one dumped the MS tile stuff and
used Classic Shell, Start8, etc. Of course, it lacked Win 10 goodies such
as Edge, Cortana and forced updates.
