Simple explanations... nothing too techy... this is for the "basic" user point of view...
Techy stuff to solve bugs is on the other threads.....

Or I can say "Hey Cortana, launch Notepad", she says "Here's Notepad", starts the program and I don't have to click anything at all.

Several features of Win 7, and prior versions, are missing, which means, to me, a 3 or 4 times more work, to do the same job.
e.g. Downloading pics from my camera... ( I take about 3,000 to 4,000 in a year ).with Win 7 and VIsta, and XP, I just put my card in the laptop, and it downloaded them... renumbered them ... put them into a dated folder,..... into a folder destination of my choice... and then erased them....
On win 10 DOWNGRADE.... I had to do each of those jobs manually... to achieve the same end result...
There are other features too, that have been added/changed that I don`t like....
On my "old" (8yrs) laptop.... it even "blocked" the touchpad driver, so that when I plugged in a mouse... the touchpad was still active... and there was no "updated" driver for it... so when typing, and the touchpad sensed movement... it moved the cursor.....
Why did Microsoft do that ?
Apparently, that driver was "dangerous to Windows 10, and therefore we have blocked its use"........ Erm? ? ? and they call Windows 10 an UPGRADE ? ?

I also read a lot that most driver problems are with older hardware , even some hardware manufacturers no longer support some of their hardware so you cannot expect a new OS to support the same , but i agree you shouldn't have to buy a new laptop because your old one is not supported .
Shutter yes i agree the win10 photo app is a bit MEH but i dint give up on win10 because it wont work the way i like , i just found another software to replace it
Win 10 is no where near as bad as win8 when it was released , and i suspect a few here will remember some older OS which were as bad on release win ME but people still tried to make the most of what it was , same as win10 It is good but you may have to mess about a bit a first , but it will become as good or better than win 7

However when it goes wrong it really goes wrong, yesterday a simple update to both OneDrive and a security update trashed my high end gaming and video editing machine.
OneDrive decided it wanted to scan every partition on my computer for pictures, videos, and documents (I have 3 drives of over 4 TB of storage and a USB3 2 TB backup) but at the same time 10’s blasted forced updates installed the security update.
I do a lot of ts file editing as I have a PVR that can copy files over our home network to be edited on my PC so I have a heck of a lot of all the above on my machine.
Result, all partitions needed ‘Administrator privileges’ to copy anything from anywhere to anywhere, nothing would run as it could not write anything back to the partitions, no games would save game positions, totally trashed. Oh yes and after much fiddling I found ‘Secure Boot’ was activated in the BIOS.
Lucky for me before the upgrade I made a system image of 7 using Backupper (sic), and was able to restore from this to get everything working again. Windows 10 is now banned from this machine until at least SP1 (if they ever release such a thing).
Now I’m not blaming 10 here it could be some combination of dlls, dot net, dx12, something during the upgrade to 10, whatever, I don’t know, but something went wrong and it took all day, a lot of expletives, some table thumping and a bit of screaming to sort it out (I’m 69 BTW so a bit of the above is allowed at my age ;)).
Oh and one last bad thing, if you have 10 Home you can’t uninstall OneDrive, you can stop it loading (until the updates put it back as it did mine above) but you can’t get rid of it, you can on 10 Pro so if I do update this machine in the future it will be a pro version at the very least.
(Sorry about the long post but had to get that off my chest so to speak), regards P.
