In many cases I have reloaded Win7 computers with Win10 and the user never realized that I did it. Other than the behavior of the start menu, it looks pretty much the same.

Basically, I remove ALL of the default live tiles, add an IE11 tile and a "devices and printers" tile, set IE as the default, and turn it over to them. I have had pretty much zero questions about "how does xxx work in Windows 10?"

Windows 10 is Microsoft's interpretation of Apple IOS... it just works. (The ugly settings are all hidden.)

How about look-and-feel? Does 10 look exactly like 7? My wife's laptop runs Windows 7 and I'm concerned that it will get updated and change the look-and-feel, which would be a VERY BAD THING for her.

I am 60% done reloading all 180+ of my users with Wondows 10. Been working on it since July. It's a no-brainer. Twice as fast and reliable as anything that came before.

My first impressions aren't all that... Twice as fast, really? Like I said in another email, I've only done two fairly recent machines. In my usage of those there wasn't a whopping speed improvement, certainly not double.

The interface is way better than 8, but that isn't saying much. Similar to 7, kinda, it's probably going to throw many 7 users, especially those whose are challenged by computers to begin with. I can think of many past users that I've had to deal with that this switch would just shut them down. "My icon isn't here anymore!" Even though it has only moved right one position and they probably did it themselves to begin with.
