We know that. You seem to be completely unable to say anything politely. Let's just reword that: Jessie is old. That is the problem. If you use Stretch, which is new, apparently the problem is less and people are working on it. MS wanted to make it difficult, or preferably impossible, to dual boot with Windows 10, which doesn't help. The installer will not be rewritten for Jessie, which is old, because Jessie is Stable. I.e. things don't change. It could not be written for Windows 10 before Windows 10 existed, since the developers haven't got a crystal ball, much as you think that idea is codswallop, and it could not be rewritten for Windows 10 after Windows 10 existed because that is the nature of Stable. It doesn't change. Since you obviously don't like Jessie, and are unwilling to try to adapt to it, why on earth are you using it? There are loads of other things you could be using, including, but not only, other versions of Debian, which would probably suit you better. Do you think you could possibly try to be polite, just once?
