Default How to be Suck Cessful with Windows 10

To be Suck Cessful with Windows 10 requires the following.

1. A computer with Windows 10 installed
2. An install CD or DVD for Windows XP or Windows 7
3. A hour of your time.

Place CD or DVD in computer CD drive.
Turn on the computer.
Follow the instructions to install Windows XP or Windows 7.

Be sure to allow it to format the hard drive and remove everything on
it. (You may want to backup any personal data before you do this)_.

Once the computer installation is finished, you will be Suck Cessful
with Windows 10.

Enjoy using Windows 7 or Windows XP, (and being free from Windows 10).

I don't find that Classic Shell adds any value to the Windows 10
interface. It was very useful for the Windows 8 interface, which was a
mess. It also adds some nice refinements to Windows 7. But Windows 10's
interface is quite usable out of the box.

Nein is still a dog when it does its endless updates.


I'm surprised how little I'm aware of it updating itself while I use
it. I don't like that it updates itself without my permission in the
first place, but in practice it hasn't been a real problem for me.

I now only use USB to install Win 10 as most motherboard these days
support booting from USB.

The method of installing Window$ hasn't changed much, as long as you got
all drivers for your hardware. It's easy and you should do it
periodically to get a truly clean system.

OR, learn to live with Win 10 like most of us here do.

I install Classic Shell. It makes Windows Nein (w10) a lot
more user friendly.


I found removing the tiles was all that was needed to give me what I
wanted.

Nein is still a dog when it does its endless updates.


I have no concerns. I prefer my software up to date. I am simply
grateful that I do not require to pay an annual subscription (which I
would willingly do).


The world is a big place so I always thought there'd be at least one
person who would willingly pay MS for the updates that have come at no
additional cost for all of these years. Now I know that you're the guy.

I go much faster without the "where's waldo" aspect
of 10 removed.

I t seems to me that certain machines just are unlucky. Others
have no issue. I have no idea why.

Usable, yes. But that doesn't mean it can't be improved on. As far as
I'm concerned, Classic Shell improves it, and Start 10 is even better
than Classic Shell; it improves it even more.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I can "go just as fast"
(whatever that means) on Windows 10 as I do with any other version.
Faster, for some things.

If you haven't been able to deal with its small leaning curve after all
this time, I'd say it's your problem, not Windows'.

I am talking about administering the thing. I can find
things faster with Classic Shell.

The learning curve from 7 to Nein (w10) was enormous,
not "small". I had customer in tears. I was in stitches
laughing at some of the positioning of things.

I have managed to find everything I need to find without
Classic Shell, but it takes me a lot longer to get
to them. And each YUGE update of Nein has to change a
bunch of stuff, like removing the Control Panel (I
can still get at it, but what a pain in the ass to
have to stop what I am doing and restore the functionality.)

My Virtual Machine of Nein deliberately does not have
Classic Shell installed as I want to see what my customer
see on stock machines. I want to feel their pain, so to speak.
