I see tabs at the top even in gvim 8.2, but I'm using text-style tabs
in both vim and gvim, thanks to the following code in my vimrc (the
"if" wrapping avoids problems with versions earlier than Vim 7 but
also with limited featuresets of any version):

if has('windows') && exists('+tabline')
function MyTabLine()
let rv = ''
let i = 1
while i <= tabpagenr('$')
let rv .= '%#Normal#'
let icur = tabpagewinnr(i)
let imax = tabpagewinnr(i, '$')
let rv .= '%' . i . 'T'
let rv .= i . '|' . icur . ':' . imax . ' '
if i == tabpagenr()
let rv .= '%#NonText#'
else
let rv .= '%#SpecialKey#'
endif
let buf = fnamemodify(bufname(tabpagebuflist(i)[icur-1]),':t')
if buf == ""
let buf = '[NoName]'
endif
let rv .= buf . ' '
let i += 1
endwhile
let rv .= '%T%=%999X%#Error#X%#Normal#%X'
return rv
endfunction
set guioptions-=e
set tabline=%!MyTabLine()
set showtabline=2
endif


Best regards,
Tony.
