If you prefer the original calculator you can install it: http://winaero.com/download.php?view.1795 This is just the executable from Win 8.1 (not sure about 8.1 but it's calc.exe in Win 7). I can NOT believe they took it out in Win 10. So all we're left with is that utterly useless Full Screen App ?? Thanks. Best Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !

Best Regards, I'm running build 9926 and the Win10 calculator is in a resizable window. Apart from the horrible interface it looks like there are a couple of features missing (that were in the Win7 calculator), like the Date calculation and the Statistics option.

Did you see Bargain Hunt yesterday? They had an old hand £sd calculating machine which sold for only £15. That was a shame because I've got one exactly like it, inherited from an uncle many years ago, and was hoping that I might have a valuable treasure.
