Windows 10 was created by helijohn
I really mourn the loss of XP and to some extent Windows 7 but this Windows 10 is awful. My latest niggle is there was an update/upgrade a few days ago and after that a lot of my 'peripherals' didn't work but I din't suss it out for ages after spending hours trying to get the printer to chat with the PC and an onboard optical drive to stop telling me to format a DVD! I mean, what can go wrong with a DVD. I had a suspicion the update had caused this and then SWOM said it's a pity you can't go back to how it was before. I did just that and Voila it is all working well. I wish Microsoft would refrain from using end users as guinea pigs. I am sure this has happened on a number of times especially to my flash drives.
When in a panic I find W10 hard to use but perhaps that is because I am so used to using W7.

It might be me but I just find it works. But then 90pc of my online stuff is android based and the computer isn't so much of a go to tool as it once was.

It's a good point because I see W10 as possibly aimed at the tablet/phone/gamer usage - mine are Andoid.

Quite honestly if and when I need a new printer that will be wifi and the pc will almost certainly be redundant.

I have a Canon wifi printer - not used in this context - but I tend to hate it.

You are sounding a little bit like a luddite, if I may be so bold.
