Bummer....we still need classic shell? Phooey.

Thanks, I’ll save this post for later. I’ll be glad to get rid of 8.1 but I think I’ll let 10 soak in with the general public for a while first.

Personally, I don’t know why. The layout on 10 is lovely, I think.

Why would you need “classic shell”? I don’t get it.

I should have said that most people won’t need to manually update their video driver. I have an odd-bird CPU that doesn’t have integrated graphics so maybe that’s why I needed to.
You don’t need classic shell, it’s just my biased opinion that many would prefer it. But then again maybe people would adapt and learn to like the new start menu.
In any case classic shell is a 30 second free install, and even quicker uninstall.

The great news is that this version of Windows finally clears up earlier issues we all struggled to overcome:
1. No ongoing danger from viruses
2. No ongoing danger from malware
3. No ongoing danger form flash-eating memory bacteria
4. No need to reinstall drivers regularly
5. No more constant need to act as an unpaid MS tech employee to keep your Windows 10 system running.
There is much excitement and rejoicing today online!
Discussions are breaking out about how people will now use their Windows 10 “cold war” time surplus!
Please install and then join the discussions.

I'm no geek ... and I miss W98SE ... now running 7 ....
WHY would I want to upgrade to 10 ?
What's the attraction for a guy that plays hidden object games and posts on FR and FB ?

Then I’m guessing that’s why Classic Shell is used.
Then no thanks on W10, I’m quite happy with W7 x64 set up to look like XP.

I never had any of those problems with xp, 7 or 8.
I did update video drivers occasionally.
I just use no-script with a browser and I never seem to get virus

yes. Sort of a hybrid. I feel a sigh of relief with classic shell 30 seconds later.

So once this downloads, is it going to be possible to write to a DVD for backup or does it need to stay on the hard drive?
I suppose MS supplying an *.iso file is asking too much.
To: doorgunner69
Yes, the same download I linked to is a media creation tool, I put it on a USB stick. But if you have the free license from upgrading from 7 or 8, you need to run the upgrade first before doing a clean install from media.
