What do you guys who like Win 10 like about it, compared to Windows 7? I thought I heard that people were refusing to go to Win 10 over some form of tracking.

I have Win 7 on this laptop, and have igonored the persistent pop ups attempting to get me to upgrade to Win 10. Now, my wife’s computer has Win 8, and I never can find the control panel on it. Is Win 10 better?

I use Win 10 on my gaming computer. You get used to it. It boots much faster than 7. I use Win 7 on my everyday comp because I still use programs that won’t run on 10.

There are many things I like about the new systems (server and workstation) one is right-click on the lower-left window icon, I like the organization of options there. Also, I love powershell. And as a server admin I couldn’t live without hyper-v.

If your wife likes Win-8 and doesn’t want to upgrade there’s always the option to add a start button: http://www.classicshell.net/

I found that it made the difference between keeping 8 vs. retro-grading to 7.

As for 10 I really liked the early test versions but lost most interest when the later versions turned into virtual malware. I only have win-10 on VMware virtual Machines and even then using the “metered connection” settings to try to control updates.
