I am told you must be REALLY careful in setting your preferences as you are setting it up. By default it gives the Cortana virtual assistant access to everything.

I've refused to "upgrade" my Windows 7 laptop so far, mainly because f'n Microsoft REMOVED Windows DVD Maker. I guess they figure no one should want to burn 480p resolution video anymore. As if all (great-)grandparents should by now have ditched their DVD players in favor of Surface tablets, smart TVs, 100 mbps Internet and YouTube?

But the real head scratcher: Windows 10 also lacks the ability to even play DVDs. (WTF?!)
