Windows 10 is pretty good let me tell you.
I was a die hard windows 7 fan for years and after installing 10 during its early incarnations I hated it - would not hear otherwise!!! But having installed it 5 months ago on my laptop I really like it. It's so much faster than 7! and in reality it's not really that different to use. go for it people. |

Another feature which is hidden away is a right-click on the Start button which brings up a useful menu.

Been there since windows 8.
Whatever you say, it's still "hidden away"! |

Yes, maybe, but I have never found it before because I have never needed to use it. I first found it on Windows 10 when a left click on the Start button failed to do anything on occasions (I think that must have been fixed now).
Whatever you say, it's still "hidden away"! ![]() How long before the Control Panel actually disappears and the Modern UI runs all things W10? |

I found the Control Panel and dragged its shortcut onto my desktop.
One thing I did suddenly discover was the sudden lack of the ability to copy and paste. After finding that this is a widespread problem, I solved it my uninstalling the keyboard driver and rebooting. I was worried that this might prevent me from typing in my password, but all went well and the facility was restored. |

It is definite now.
RS1 is now available on the VSLC (volume software licence centre), and the version is 14393.5 (same as latest Insider build). |

Have just installed Classic Shell to replace the W 10 start menu etc., marvellous! I now have the same Start Menu on my W7, 8.1 and 10 installations.
Among other useful things, it separates the proper programs from the stupid apps, which I can now happily ignore. Completely. No space-wasting start menu tiles either. Also I turned off everything I possibly could do when installing, on a local account, even cortana, hibernate, sleep and fast start are now off. Next up - replace Defender by Kaspersky. ![]() |

Oh and ahhh, remember when hippy-dippy types warned us all back in the 1990s that Microsoft would eventually use their PC market domination to screw us all against a wall.
We ignored them as anti-capitalist idealists. Well, it just happened everybody, anybody thought you would ever be forced to get a new PC operating system every three years ? |

No I don't, no we didn't, and no they haven't. You just haven't got to grips with Edge is all. I recommend using whatever browser you normally use instead, or just learn how to use Edge.

In Microsoft edge, and if I use the scroll thing, can never tell if I am back in 100% view.
I am using Firefox anyway. |

originally posted by mossy2103 Is this worth upgrading or not
But I did read that it would not be made available to all devices from the off, rather that it would be a phased release. |

It's still happening. Happened to me this morning for the second time. The solution that works consistently is to just pull the plug under power. The PC resets and left click is back.

Do you not think that it might have been a good question to ask in....ooh, maybe the last year or so?
![]() To those that vowed never to upgrade to 10 due to some blinkered view of Windows 7, enjoy your old OS while the rest of us stride into the future. Paying up is always a option

Bit of a daft question at this stage of the game, to be honest. |
