Gah, worst thing i ever did,w10 is rather awful in my opinion,am now actively looking for a 2nd laptop with win 7,me own fault really, tried persevering with ten so long i could not go back to 7,as windows wipes it asfter a month or so? anyway had it now around a year and still hate it with a passion!
In what way are you hating it? Just because its not Win7, and bits are in different places, or stability type issues?
Be aware that, sadly, Win7 goes out of support in 2yrs, so don't get too attached to it!
My own personal views are the "best" desktop Windows OS ever was 8.1, let down by an awful user interface (which is the bit users obviously interact with, making most thing Win8.1 is crap - but the underlying OS is very good, and supremely stable). The best user interface was Win7, followed by Vista, with Win10 third.
From a stability angle, Win10 comes near bottom of all the NT based Windows, probably only surpassed on instability by early versions of NT4 Workstation, though in NT4's case, it was 3rd party video drivers (any of them!) that were the cause. Earlier builds of W10 weren't great for stability, particularly on older hardware. The Anniversary Edition 1607 is a particularly poor build - everyone should really be running Creators Edition 1703 or Creators Fall 1709, both these seem to be an awful lot better than 1607.
For those who grumble they can never find anything, the preferred/default method introduced in Vista is search. Thats unlikely to go away. Want to adjust power saving settings, idea is hit the Windows key and type power and all the power options are displayed. Although the whole control panel thing is a lot cleaner in W10 than, say, W7. Just a shame that the search indexer keeps screwing up on W10, grrr.
