Hi Folks.
Don't think this fits either of the other Win10 threads.
I am a bit of a clean desktop freak, I have a nice photo, half a dozen icons on the left, including network, computer and trash! I have a few more regularly used programs pinned to the task bar, the rest are quickly found in the start menu.
All windows 8 machines I have seen have huge ugly block "app" (hate that term) icons splattered all over the desktop, I don't have touch screen, I would not use a touch monitor as I spend too long wiping fingerprints from phone and tablet screens already! I like my small mouse friendly icons for my programs in, well, the programs menu.
So the question is can I set Win 10 up how I like it with neat small icons in the places I'm familiar with, I really don't want to learn a new OS, I'd much rather carry on trying to learn to PP my photo's.
The OS is supposed to be a tool, why is it so frequently changed?
To make it device agnostic across phones tablets and desktops, do people use windows phones or 7" and 10" tablets?
I believe the surface is a tablet/ laptop? Do people use a huge device like that as a tablet?
I don't know of any of my close friends with a windows phone or tablet, all use iDevice or android.
Please don't set light to me or tear me a new one, these are serious thoughts and questions, not trying to rubbish windows, I use it but have been through the trials since Win 95!
Cheers, Graham.
