For the few who didn't like Windows 10, did you stay around long enough to discover that if you right clicked the Start button, it shows many options like Control Panel, Programs & Features, File manager (like Windows Explorer with new name) Task Manager, System, device manager, even Command prompt among others.
A Simple click otherwise shows the Apps and maybe that's why folks prefer Win 7?

Windows10 is by far the best there are so many improvements which makes multitasking a breeze. Its got to be the most user friendly, and the most powerful OS that is currently available. Win10 leaves XP, Vista, Win7 & 8 at the the stalls, they don't even make the first hurdle. |

It has so much that I have not explored them all and after a couple of weeks still find it excellent.
Clicking the notification button next to the clock, click all settings and type something in the top right search box..... let`s say "printer" and see all the choices come up, I coud not find screen saver (they hid that well) but type it in there and look on the task bar. Faster still, type it in Cortana`s search box. Just two of the many things made easier, those that don`t change will have to at some stage in the future and it will cost, a year from now £99, 5years from now probably £199. Ken. |

Now read this
A Microsoft spokesperson stated: "After the first year, you would not be able to move the installation to a different device, as the upgrade is specific to your device, not your license or Windows account. After that first year, for devices not upgraded, you would have to purchase a copy of Windows 10 through the Microsoft Store or Microsoft retail partners." To make things even more confusing, if you eventually purchase a retail edition of the Win10 license, you will be able to move that copy from one computer to another — that version comes with portability rights. You can, however, still upgrade a Win10 system. As with earlier Windows versions (typically tied to the Windows Genuine Advantage program), you'll need to call Microsoft to reactivate the license if you change major parts of your computer after upgrading to Win10. (It's usually an annoying but not too painful process.) |

I removed Win10 after 2 weeks because I was sick of all the trouble it gave. Things not being compatible, worse performance, much more temp files then ever before and the startup was horrendous. Put Win7 back on, and the laptop is flying high like it used to. Win10 is just not for me. In my case it is not better then 7 in any way I can think off.
