(7,003 posts)There are many parts of the Win 10 interface I like, there are some cool things about the settings app. I turn off Cortana and all the reporting options during setups.
I always tell people to create local admins without creating a Microsoft account.
Also if you right click on the start menu, you can get to a lot of the mechanics of the OS. I pin control panel (it's still there) and command prompt to the task bar. You could pin the computer management console as well.
If you click on file explorer in your task bar, the icon for your PC is there. Right clicking on that gives you the same Windows 7 options.
I like Windows 10. It's just a little cumbersome to make it your own, especially if your trying to remove PC manufacturer bloatware.
I don't miss 7, though. Developers are leaving it behind. Schools probably only have a few months left of compatibility regarding testing platforms.
Anyway, I digress. Oh, there's cool stuff about Office 365, too, but I still opt for desktop office.
Best of luck reviving your old software.
