I have Windows 10 installed on it, completely activated with my Windows 7 key. Now I'm in the process of copying all documents and shit to my passport for easy transfer. Once that's done, I'll take my storage drives out of my current computer and put them in my new computer. Then I'll have to learn how to fucking use Windows 10, because Windows 7 is so familiar to me.

Anyone have any tips for Windows 10? I've already turned off as many data collection Services that Microsoft wants to throw in Windows 10 that I could find. I want it to look as intuitively like Windows 7 as possible.

10 is the Windows were all familiar with basically. Except theres like a Cortana enabled search bar and a bit of a small facelift for the start menu.

Use the full Start Screen because it's better than the archaic Start Menu

It's going to take some getting used to, but so far, Windows10 isn't terrible. I forgot that UAC was a thing, so I had to search to turn that shit off. I also turned off Windows Firewall, because my router has its own firewall protection. No one's getting on that unless they have the password. I thought I could migrate my games cleanly from Windows 7 to Windows 10 using Steam and GOG's client, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Looks like I may have to do clean installs of all the games I play.

Why don't you like UAC? It's not like the Vista days where it comes up for everything. Just for when an app tries to start with elevated permissions.

It's an objective fact that doesn't need anyone to believe in it or not

Its default setting was to notify me every time I tried to install a program. I know when I'm installing programs, so I turned that shit off. It might be useful if Windows detects something in the background that I'm not directly doing, but when it does it every time I go to install a program? Nah, fam.
