The idea is that anybody with a question related to the subject can be directed there and will be able to see how that thread answers their question. That often isn't the case with a random Q&A. The subject matter experts may recognize that an answer on a thread also answers what someone is asking, but it may not be obvious to the asker. | |

A canonical thread should also be comprehensive in a way a random Q&A usually is not (why, background, what doesn't work, other tools, level of detail, installing Win 10 in multi-boot situations, etc.). | |
