Nick,

  A fellow ham radio operator refers to Windows 10 as "Satan's Little
Sextoy". 

  I've gotten it to work the way I want it, and with utilities from
IObit software, the system looks like the way I had it under Windows 7.
The one thing I don't like on the 64-bit version (on the laptop) is
that it's constantly turning ON the "Focus Assist", and I do NOT want it
on.

  The ONLY reason I upgraded, was because of the security issues.

  Best Buy was selling 32-bit versions of Windows 10 for $140
each...while Microsoft wanted $200 each. I put the 32-bit versions on my
late Mom's computer, and the BBS computer...but had to buy the Lenovo
Laptop with 64-bit version...as the previous laptop (which I bought at a
ham radio hamfest flea market) had Windows Vista Basic on it...and it
would not let me upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7.
