Windows 10

Windows 10 is the latest version of Microsoft OS for consumer use by far. It was released in the summer of 2015 but is continuously being updated. Every Windows 10 update brings a lot of changes.

In Windows 10 Microsoft introduced the modern Settings app that should replace the deprecated Control panel but despite the fact that 5 years have passed, Microsoft is still in the process of migrating settings from Control panel to the Settings interface. It is indeed very complicated and confusing to use both a deprecated and modern interfaces for configuring your PC. So many of users have problems with it. Every next update brings a piece of improvements that makes a lot of our guides useless. So, it is these changes that are the reason for writing all kinds of new instructions and constant updating of existing ones.

Many people hate Windows 10 for its problems and glitches and wish they could switch back to the old good and stable Windows 7. But unfortunately, you can’t buy a new PC without have to deal with the 10th version of Microsoft OS, because in most cases it is the only supported operating system for the newest hardware.
