Currently trying to figure this out now. Been on Windows since 3.1. We’re both retired, so there isn’t the need to try and keep up with whatever OS was in use at work. Plan to use one spare desktop PC to try out Linux, but I suspect a Win 10 PC will be ordered soon. Not pleased about this.

I will still be using Win7 on mine. I used XP for several years after support ended.

I hated the Win10 User Interface (and still do) with a passion. Ten months ago I had to buy a new PC, and decided to bite the bullet and go with Win10.
The first thing I did was to install a free program called Classic Shell. It allows you to customize the look of your Windows system — especially if you want to make it and the Start menu look like Win 7. Example:
You can see different screen shots of Classic Shell here.
And you can download the program here.

If you don't like it (which I doubt) you can always uninstall it. But before you do that, or have other Win 10 questions, you can always request help here at FR. Just make sure you're logged in 😜
