No.

Windows has for a long time -- *not* always -- had the ability to
_add_ virtual desktops. There were multiple addons, including notably
Dexpot:

And "Desktops" which I think is the one you're thinking of. It's by
Mark Russinovitch of Sysinternals, which MS acquired. That's what
makes it semi-official.

It was particularly useful because you didn't need to install it, just
run it -- so I could use it in places where I didn't have admin
rights.

But if you read the text on that 2nd link, there are a lot of limitations.

* 1 instance of Explorer per desktop, meaning accessories and systray
gadgets are only visible or accessible on screen 0

* no 3D compositing on the secondary screens

But the one that made it ¾ useless for me is:

You can't move windows from one vdesktop to another.

Without that, it's crippleware.

What's different is that in Win10 it's built in, and that means that
you can access all the accessory tools from any screen, have as many
as you need, add and remove screens at will, but most of all, move
stuff from screen to screen.

It's the only version I've ever actually found *useful*.

And Win10 is the first ever version of Windows to have this *built in*.
