Unlike previous launches, Microsoft switched up the formula for Windows 10, with separated launch events at locations across the globe in place of a single broadcast announcement. (Windows 8 removed the Start menu, which is part of the reason why most Windows 7 users didn’t upgrade.).

So, would you be making a grave mistake by upgrading to Windows 10 if you’re now running Windows 7?
And, if you previously bought Start8 to fix your Windows 8 or 8.1 Start Menu woes, you’ll get a small discount – depending on when you bought the last app, you might save a dollar or two.

Remove items:You can remove listings in the “Most used” section – handy if you’re embarrassed about something that shows up there. The cursor should change to a resize cursor and you may use it to increase or decrease the height or width of the start menu.
When people update their devices to Microsoft’s new operating system, their default browsers are automatically changed to Microsoft Edge, the successor to Internet Explorer that’s included with Windows 10. Windows 10 comes with a ton of new features, so naturally there are also a bunch of new shortcuts to go with them.

The computing and internet world once revolved around the PC; now it’s the mobile, where Microsoft’s efforts have only garnered about 80 million users of its Windows Phone software, almost all on cheap handsets. These may include toggling location services, opening OneNote to jot down an idea, linking to your VPN settings or just launching the Settings app itself. Use Corner Snap! Your layout is preserved when switching between tablet and desktop mode. However, some laptop models come with them built in, and you may be able to buy a third-party peripheral for machines that don’t have them.
