windows 7 or 10 ?

Yes mate it took me a while to realise as per my rant in post #8 that security in general is a bit of a misnomer if they want your info they will get it and to be honest if they want to know I bought some red underpants fro EBay then go for your life Microsoft

Once I set the machine sup as per my pic because they are the most used features I use the system is not that bad. I just find it a little harder at answering posts in 10 because I am not that fluent in it's functions yet.
The one thing that I wish they would change is go back to new posts and unanswered posts because I pick the eyes out of the posts in 10 for the unanswered as some have been waiting for ages for a reply- in 7 they are separated out - easier eh?

Oh No John has turned to the Dark Side

John, once you log in to Ten Forums you should see links to "What's New", "Forum", and "Tutorials" right under the 10 logo. Directly under those links I have links to "New Posts" and a link to "Forum Actions". "Forum Actions" then has a drop down menu for "Unanswered Threads". There may be an easier or quicker way to get to new and unanswered posts but this works for me.

Thanks mate I never noticed the drop down before

Oh No John has turned to the Dark Side

Ah yes grasshopper I went to dark side long time ago - well at least a few months back - only cos Yoda came to the door one evening and said“Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you.” LOL!!

LOL

Ya once you customize it, it`s all downhill :)

Plus we`ve all been using it for so long anyway.

Hi,
Worst things about 10 is customizing.. it and of course re-customizing it after large updates...

7 needs little to no customizations it's good in my eye's out of the box
10 is way too much work.

And now with all the garbage updates out of the way it`s a joy to install 7 again

I`m back in Seven Heaven :)

Hi,
I haven't touched/ booted to 10 since the "anniversary update" and I doubt I will for a long long time :)

Wuz wonderin' where to post this....

Finally took the plunge and picked up my xmas present, 15.6 lenovo ideapad110 with 10home, I guess the price will go back to 599 after Saturday.
So far I'm liking this ideapad, runs cool, 5hr battery, an hour and a half back to full charge from 20% and that's while I'm using it, snappy, and, it seems, a lot easier on my eyes compared to the desktop.

10 sure is a learning curve, everything seems to be there but they sure moved things around, one thing I have trouble with, is Edge, and no easy way to set the home page, no drag an'drop, or organizing favorites, doesn't open to new tab; after I find all the settings they'll do an update, right?

And, why? Does everything have to be so flat?

Hi,
I read MS is going to remove the control panel entirely eventually and force people to use the long ways to get to stuff.
