Thanks ARC1020 I finally got the answer I was looking for. The reason I had asked the question is that my wife (knowing nothing about computers) went out and bought a laptop with Windows 10 on it then asked me to show her how to use it.

I had tried Windows 10 when it had been out about 3-4 months and found it to be useless (my opinion). I went back to windows 7 which I find to be a great OS.

I after messing with her new computer for 30-45 minutes I was tempted to slam it against the wall. I am NOT fan of laptops. At any rate we are stuck with the damn thing so I guess we will make the best of it.

It is like all new things ----- one has to spend the quality time to find out what it can do for you!
Those of us that started out our careers with NO computing aids available at all, and have transitioned from nothing to desktops to laptops and now smart devices know how to get the best out of each device.

WIN 10 on my desktops and laptops works perfectly well, BUT, I spent a good few hours understanding how it works, and then customising to suit my style of working.

PS: I find most smart devices extremely irritating because most of the sw and apps seem to be written around the belief that humans are no longer able to think for themselves and need to be led by the nose ....

But I have accepted that I need to learn and understand smart devices and adapt and work out what the devices can do for me.
