Is the system architecture of Windows 7 similar to Windows 10?
I want to start learning the core, low-level system of Windows. I have found a book that provides exactly what I am looking for, but it covers Windows 7. The newer, updated version of this book that covers Windows 10 will not be released for another 6 months. So my question is: are the low-level structures/internals/kernels for Windows 7 and 10 similar? Because if they are, could I begin reading the current Windows 7 edition without fear of drastic core changes in Windows 10? My goal here is to start learning the basis of the operating system as soon as possible, knowing that there are obvious differences between 7 and 10, and that certain core functionality will have changed in Windows 10. The book that I am referring to is "Windows Internals Parts 1 and 2, 6th edition" (covering Windows 7). The 7th edition which covers Windows 10 will not be released until December 29, 2016. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
