| 1406243 | 2015-08-12 00:56:00 | I nearly suggested tablet mode, but it seems to block access to the desktop completely and I don't like that (you can still run desktop apps, just can't view the desktop). The instructions I linked should let you set the same behaviour and also keep access to the desktop. Up to you of course. Hi Dugimodo. I tried the method you posted, but I have no tab labelled 'Start Menu' in the Taskbar properties as needed to make the change. |

| 1406244 | 2015-08-12 01:50:00 | sorry right you are, that guide needs updating. Maybe they just replaced those options with the tablet mode toggle. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1406245 | 2015-08-12 03:55:00 | Is the mail with Win 10 the same old windows live mail 12? | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1406246 | 2015-08-12 04:46:00 | The default mail app is a modern app same as windows 8 but you can still use live mail if you prefer, I am. Windows did seem to want me to use outlook when it detected it on my machine but I don't like it much personally so I stuck with live mail. |

| 1406247 | 2015-08-14 08:00:00 | I have both my laptops on W10 at the moment. One had W7 Pro & the other W7 Ultimate. They both seem to run much faster on W10, despite there being more software installed. Is it my imagination, or is it really faster loading programs (apps)? If you want a decent calculator like W7 there ia "World Calculator" free, see Google. |

| 1406248 | 2015-08-21 02:53:00 | Hi, I am not so familiar with Windows 10 but I can share with you some guidelines (www.cnet.com) that I found online. You may want to read it. I hope it will help you to answer all your questions about Windows 10. | reamslovenly (17283) | ||
| 1406249 | 2015-08-21 16:23:00 | I am using windows 10, It's an amazing windows. I love Microsoft's work. I really do not have any problem with this OS. Start Menu, Desktop and everything is just perfect, exact the way I want it, except multitasking. |

| 1406251 | 2015-08-22 02:12:00 | I'm unlikely to bother with cortana, bing, and the MS apps. or even the start menu really. For me it's the internet that's useful- for buying, researching, forum interaction, blogging, marketing/SEO, etc. Also using many of Google's online and other tools/products are more beneficial/interesting to me. I mean an android based desktop/laptop would be sufficient. Sure there are those, that may (need) navigate to the depths of MS ecosystem - registry, device manager, sys config, system properties, etc, for paid work/technical purposes. i did enjoy back in the 80's when windows (moving them about - almost magical) 3.1 came out to replace/override DOS/Norton utilities - but only because it was beneficial for work purposes. Any iteration of windows since then, have not really bothered about. Win 10, though seems streamlined, - maybe back to basics?, i.e. as if Win 1.0 (10) - where it ought to have been maybe. |

Very well said. As an old dos-head myself, I tend to agree with you. |
