The older versions constantly irritate me. Even something as simple as
selecting and copying files, Windows 10 is just so much cleverer the way
it does it.


What's cleverer than

copy d:\dirtyPictures\MileyCyrus.jpeg .

?

COPY D:\MP3Files\*.MP3 Dlaylist\.m3u /ON/B
(creates a standard play list from the MP3 files directory sorted by
artist name)
or
XCOPY D:\files d:backup /S /M /D:01-01-2018
(Copies all files from "files" and every sub directory under it to
"backup" that were created since 1/1/18 that have been modified since
the last time you copied them or otherwise reset the archive bit)
A clever person can do things with a few keystrokes in DOS that you
need an extra software package to do in Windoze.
There are DOS text editors can do things to a flat text file that you
pretty much cannot do in windoze unless you want to create an excel
spread sheet.
