It's basically like Windows 8 but they moved the bizarre and annoying Windows Live tiles screen to the start menu. Then you have to laboriously unpin all of that shit in order to get a decent start menu.

And there's a big "Cortana" search thing on the task bar. I don't know what that shit is so removed it.

A lot of references to the "store". I removed all that I've found.

All software are now call "apps". I mean, even your own stuff. Games and whatnot that you've bought. Crusader Kings 2, for example. They're "apps" now.

I haven't found the control panel yet. It's there but you have to search for a tutorial to put it on to your start menu.

The start menu just lists your most used "apps". I don't know. Is this useful? Maybe for some people. I'm indifferent to it. I always just go to file explorer to find what I want anyway.

So whatever. It's all the same basic shit since Windows 95 isn't it? So if you've used Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 you'll be familiar with Windows 10.
