The Window 7 User's Guide to Windows 10" Dan's tip for October 10 2016
The transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10 can be jarring, to say the
least. Here's an overview of what you'll find in Windows 10, whether you're
thinking of switching from Windows 7 or 8 or you want a look at Microsoft's
latest operating system. What the guide covers:
. Logging On
. Desktop Environment
. Taskbar and Start Menu
. Shutting Down
. Switching Users
. All Programs
. User Folders
. Windows Explorer
. Personalization
. Programs and Features
. Windows Update
The Windows 10 rollout has been smooth for most people who've upgraded, but
there are still some significant bumps in the road. There are two sites I
can recommend that do a good job of keeping up with what's going on with
Windows, Woody on Windows at InfoWorld
<http://www.infoworld.com/blog/woody-on-windows/>
http://www.infoworld.com/blog/woody-on-windows/
and the
Ed Bott Report at ZDNet <http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/> .

Many people have voiced concerns on the safety and security of Windows 10.
Some settings can be changed to safeguard your privacy to the extent
possible with Windows 10. You'll find more information and instructions at
The Ultimate Windows 10 Security Guide

and How to Secure Windows 10

Windows Home edition users have less control over these settings than Pro or
Enterprise users, but there are some work arounds (usually involving
registry hacks) for Windows 10 Home edition.
The new Windows Update policy in Windows 10 is worth mentioning here. If you
have Windows Home edition, updates are received automatically and you can't
choose which updates to receive.Windows Pro and up users can limit some
updates.
Windows 10 was apparently designed with the idea that every Windows PC has
an unlimited Internet connection. If you have a limited or slow bandwidth
connection, you can change a Wi-Fi connection to a metered connection
<http://www.howtogeek.com/226722/how-when-and-why-to-set-a-connection-as-met
ered-on-windows-10/> .

red-on-windows-10/
Setting a Wi-Fi connection to metered tells Windows that you don't have an
unlimited data usage allowance, and Windows limits some downloads with a
metered connection. Ethernet (wired) connections can't be set to metered,
while mobile broadband connections are automatically set to a metered
connection.
If you try Windows 10 and can't get used to the menu and tile system, give a
Start Menu Replacement
<http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-get-windows-7-start-menu-window
s-10.htm> program a try.
You can read more and find it here:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-get-windows-7-start-menu-windows
-10.htm
The last thing I wanted to mention is that Windows 10 (even the Anniversary
edition) can cause display problems if you use NVIDIA graphics cards.
Windows replaces NVIDIA graphics drivers with generic Windows video drivers.
If you run into problems, download the Windows 10 graphics drivers for your
card from NVIDIA <http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us>
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
and install them, that should take care of the problem.
