My main 8.1 device was a 920 back in the day and my 830 was always on W10M and worked fine. I wish I hadn't gone past 10586.
Oh Well, I will enjoy the last of good ole days for a while before I put the sim back in the 950. Maybe I'll get the Focus Flash out and try out some WP7 and play some Harvest.
Everything you said is kind of how I have been feeling too. I miss it a lot and those cameras. The stability is pretty boss, I don't recall ever having to hard reset much, if at all. When I did, it was by choice alone. Not because of frustration like I feel with my 640 on Windows 10 Mobile. I hate what happened to the camera on my 640 on Windows 10 Mobile, and because I do, I felt like I had to choose between great camera for the price and less apps, or better apps and weak camera. I chose the latter because I know myself best
It's really made me feel like throwing the phone away, especially with the slowness and stupid glitches that I didn't have on 8.1. I got a 550 to stay in the game from an amazing deal, kind of like how @aximtreo did with the 950xl. Liking it, but every now and then, I wonder how it would be if it had 8.1 on it.
Whoops, I kind of went on a tangent, but I miss only being concerned about apps on 8.1 over being concerned about apps and performance on Windows 10 Mobile.

Yes! Agreed! I miss it.

Now I have to use a sun dial to time the opening and closing of apps ad boots. The rest of my day will be spent resetting and doing a complete new install. Should have done that in the first place but I'm a dumb butt. LOL
LOL, sun dial! Ah I can imagine how you felt, that is one of the worst things. I think I did a similar mistake the other week and since it takes so long, I just had to leave the phone on and go to sleep because of work in the morning.
