Visually, the new style is more refined and overall pleasant with a push towards clearer settings menus however it is still fairly inconsistent for advanced users.
Even with the privacy settings to the maximum what is installed on your machine is sent to Microsoft. With more recent versions of Windows 10 there are some privacy controls but what Microsoft is or is not collecting is not clear. Lastly, there are a number of privacy issues related to WIndows 10 and Cortana - a lot of your data is sent to Microsoft. I suspect this will depend on your particular machine and driver support - newer machines may not have drivers for Windows 7. However, battery life may be better but I haven't been able to confirm this. I find it is much much slower in opening windows and switching between open programs.
Ultimately, I found the Start menu experience so bad I installed Classic Shell which restores basic functionality without the bling and flashing adverts.ĭespite reviews saying performance is the same as Windows 10 if better I've failed to confirm this in real world use. It also shows advert isements of programs it would like you to install in the Start bar - it's very very intrusive. Windows 10 using Cortana using all sorts of intelligent algorithms to trawl through your data when you search something in the Start menu, unfortunately it often does a terrible job and doesn't display programs installed locally on the machine it will display programs in Windows Store, or search results from internet before it shows what's on your machine. I find it more cumbersome to use than Windows 7. Other than that works as advertised.Īs for Windows 10 itself, I'm not much of a fan. Once this is done, check the BIOS / UEFI settings are correct before installing otherwise this can be problematic. It's a simple case of entering your product key on the WIndows 10 download page, download and, using an existing installation of Windows 7 + installing to a USB drive.
