I disliked 8.1 too...so much that I took the download as soon as offered.
10 is easy to understand and a little poking around and I found everything.
My only problem is email is not appearing...I am sure I can get the reason tomorrow when bellsouth is open for business...I get it on the cell phone. Message is: “not synched” and then “working on it”...24 hours now.
New vocabulary is the only problem...I am learning! “tiles”( not icons), dragging items to the opening display, changing size of tiles most important to me, on and on.
My photos were all there and placed in the list by the month they were saved...nice feature!
Games were split into groups by the creator, provider...no problem. Just search for them.
Internet search feature is at the bottom on the left of the bar.
When my mail works...I will give 10 the highest recommendation.
