If ever you need to ask here about "why doesn't X, Y or Z work with
Win10?" be sure to make it clear you've installed a 3rd party shell
replacement ...


I've already found some minor short-comings of the "classic start"
menu/interface/shell. But the "original" Windows 10 one is still
accessible via a link on the classic start program menu. Someone who
knows what they are doing can locate executable files directly by
navigating the C:/ drive and using the command line interface. I found
doing that handy. For instance, I don't think that the registry editor
appears on either menu (admittedly I didn't look for it there). I don't
require a drop down menu, or even a mouse on a computer--they are merely
conveniences. Honestly, Windows 10 has alot more conveniences than one
needs.
Only 2 applications did not work immediately after the "upgrade". One
was the SeaMonkey web browser and news reader. The second was the
program for my (smart) MS keyboard and I only had to restart it (it
remembered my settings). The rest of the hardware continued to work
without a hitch, which I found rather impressive.

But to go full circle, I did not appreciate needing to do this upgrade
in the first place. But I dealt with the circumstances the best I was
able to. I.e. I took the opportunity for the opportunity to download the
software for free while it was still available! Otherwise, "upgrading"
two computers might easily cost me a coupla-hundred bucks...
