I miss the widgets from Windows 7. I wonder if there is a recommended site to download them from as there seems to be a few. Just want ones like an analogue clock, cpu meter and a countdown timer.

Anyone able to offer a reliable and safe source? Thanks

You'll have to use Google to search for these separate programmes and I'm sure that you'll be able to find them. For example, I'd suggest checking out to see if Clock X works on Win 10 even if that requires the use of the compatibility function: http://www.clocx.net/about.php

I have all the gadgets I use (Analogue clock, Calendar, CPU Usage and Drives Meter) obtained from 8gadgetpack.net

Loads of others if you want them.

Instructions on how to install the Windows Gadgets on Windows 10.
http://win10gadgets.com/installing-d...or-windows-10/
It's called "8GadgetPack" but still works in 10. Download from here

I haven't tried it myself on Windows 10 because I've moved over to Rainmeter for that sort of desktop info.

ETA: Oops, just pipped to it.
