Windows 10: What happened to the Split touch keyboard?

We had this same issue a few years ago, we voiced our disapproval, it came back, but here we are again. The split touch keyboard is a very user convenient feature, why take it away again? Please bring it back.

can i force win8 touch keyboard?


win10 version sucks.

1. pressing touch keyboard icon on taskbar with pin on win1- will launch the handwriting panel. i rarely ever actually want that, i just use the pen because it's easier to use that than fat thumbs. back on windows 8, the normal touch keyboard would still load when you pressed touch keyboard icon on taskbar with pen.
   
2. i hate the win10 'thumb keyboard', the second view where the letters are split off to each side. on win8 this had numbers in the middle, making entering passwords which both letters and jnumbers in them easy, on win10 the middle part where numbers used to be is a gigantic hole. 4
