That one thing is that I can't use Internet Explorer. The new web browser. I don't even know what it's called because I can't figure out how to get to its About screen to find out.
The "Alt" key, which on IE caused a menu bar to appear so you could get to various settings, and to a Help drop-down, now does no such thing.
Hitting F1, which was a pretty universal way in MS-land to get a Help screen, no longer does that.
It appears that there simply is no help on the new browser (whatever it's called). Possibly Microsoft believes that it's so utterly intuitive that no help is necessary, even though they've changed the user experience substantially, fixing things that were not broke and generally causing all my built up IE expertise to be thrown into the garbage.
The Win 10 browser is not compatible with some elements of the Microsoft Network site; these no longer work.
Win 10 does not let you install any version of IE. You are forced to accept its weird built-in browser, or get another.
I decided to try - for the first time - Google Chrome, which works OK and resembles IE to some extent, but is unpleasant to use and I don't trust Google.
“That one thing is that I can’t use Internet Explorer. The new web browser. I don’t even know what it’s called because I can’t figure out how to get to its About screen to find out.”
I feel your pain. That new browser is called “Microsoft Edge”, it is not even a full-featured browser, so Lord knows why they include it on a desktop OS and try to make people use it by default. The good news is that IE is still installed on every Windows 10 machine, just go to your start menu search bar and type Internet Explorer, you will see the link. Then, right-click that icon and select “Pin to Task Bar”, and then go right-click the Edge icon on the task bar and unpin it. Problem solved.
I have to open the edge browser and click on settings and click “open in Internet Explorer “.
You could try Mozilla Firefox. Been using it probably since it first came out ( At least 10 years)approximately. Never had a problem, it’s not Goog, lets you put add-ons easily, lets you block history, doesn’t collect your private info. Is fast and efficient. Just love it. Probably @ Mozilla.org. (Non- profit corp). (Watch their video after installation.)
I must have discovered it here about 14 years ago.
I use explorer on mine it is still on the computer I just made a shortcut and pinned it to the task bar.
As A follow up:
From Wikipedia:
Firefox was created in 2002, under the name “Phoenix” by the Mozilla community members who wanted a standalone browser rather than the Mozilla Application Suite bundle. Even during its beta phase, Firefox proved to be popular with its testers and was praised for its speed, security and add-ons compared to Microsoft’s then-dominant Internet Explorer 6. Firefox was released in November 2004,[23] and was highly successful with 60 million downloads within nine months, which was the first time that Internet Explorer’s dominance was challenged.[24] Firefox is considered the spiritual successor of Netscape Navigator,[25] as the Mozilla community was created by Netscape in 1998 before their acquisition by AOL.[26]
As of January 2016, Firefox has between 9% and 16% of worldwide usage as a “desktop” browser, making it the second most popular web browser.[27][28][29][30][31] Firefox is the most popular browser in Cuba, Eritrea and Germany, with 85.93%[32] and 79.39%[33][34] and 38.36%,[35][36] of the market share, respectively. It is also the most popular desktop browser in many other African countries.[37] According to Mozilla, as of December 2014 there were half a billion Firefox users around the world.[38] With Internet Explorer declining, Firefox reached second place in February 2016, as a desktop browser.[39]
