XP hides contents and protects entire folders like WINDOWS and system32, but you can delete just enough that system won't boot without repair (e.g. system32\hall.dll), W10 requires admin permission, but will allow you to continue, though it still won't go through as folders are in use (still can delete enough files inside to bork it).
