What Windows 7 users need to know about updating to Windows 10
http://mashable.com/2015/07/30/windo...de-windows-10/
Here's my take on that nice article:
1. The "Start Menu" is back in Windows 10
2. Windows 7 "Gadget" is gone in Windows 10
3. Windows 7 "Windows Media Center" is gone in Windows 10
4. Windows 10 Pro has "Update for Business"
5. Windows 10 Pro has "Domain Join Services"
6. Windows 10 Pro has "BitLocker Drive Encryption"
7. Windows 10 Pro has "Group Policy editor"
8. Windows 10 Pro has "Remote Access Services"
9. Windows 10 has "DirectX 12 graphics API"
10. Windows 10 has game streaming from Xbox One
11. Windows 10 has "Cortana", the voice assistant
12. You have only 1 month to decide if you want to revert
Is any of that useful for the average Windows 7 user?
Yes: it tells me that there's nothing there that I actually want.
If it said "Windows 10 has built-in support for Blu-Ray discs" I
might
look at it again.
I believe they even removed DVD playback but you can still install
VLC. lol

DVD playback. “Watching DVDs requires separate playback software,”
Microsoft
notes. But I assume any existing DVD playback software will continue
running. And in a separate FAQ, Microsoft says it is “providing a
free DVD
playback app in Windows 10 for Windows Media Center users.”
Microsoft Edge has some decent malware protection actually. I ventured
onto a site with illegal streams to watch UFC tonight, fully expecting
that one of the ads was going to attempt to serve me malware. Edge
detected that the site had a "programming error" and warned me about
the
malware. Quite impressive considering that Internet Explorer used to be
the best way through which to get malware onto a person's computer.
Chrome and adblocker.

I refuse to use anything made by Google. I would have used Opera with
Ghostery (which blocks more than enough ads from displaying) but I also
refuse to install Flash in general. Of course, since Flash is necessary
to watch those illegal streams, I used Microsoft Edge because it's being
forced down my throat and has Flash built-in. I was impressed with the
malware blocking but the browser is useless without something to block
tracking cookies.
Why not use something to hide who you are?

I used to do that but I lost interest.
So did I. It does work and you can spoof anyone into believing you are
posting from any where in the world.
I really get a good laugh when I hear them try to convince everyone
that they know enough to blame the "hacking" on China. Makes some think
they really know something.
They still call a computer case a "hard drive"
