Good luck with that - you would need to scrap the entire operating system.

If planned obsolescence wasn’t a concern this would be a decent way to improve - use the Linux kernel, ported or recreated interface and a compatibility layer for games or whatever it is that keeps people on Windows.

They can’t scrap their whole operating system: the only thing keeping people on Windows is its backwards compatibility.
