Windows 10 now installed on 75 million PCs

The download and installation were quick, easy, and trouble free, BUT after using Win 10 for a little over a week, I'm looking for an easy way to roll back to Win 7U.

Using Win7 for many hours per day, I find the reorganization of standard windows tools to be more than annoying. The search is a Royal PITA, requiring the drives to be linked into "one drive". As I have two servers with over 50,000 photographs without touching on the really old stuff to be scanned I don't trust the cloud, or Microsoft with my photos.

I make that statement with a degree in Computer Science and minors in Math and Art. I was working on my masters in CS as a GA, when a good job offer ended my quest for a masters.

They are counting me, but I'm going back to Win 7 U. I wonder how many of that huge number are doing the same.

Network Engineer here...Eagerly awaited its release and jumped on for 2 weeks the day of release. Tweaked, played, fidgeted, got annoyed and a bit stone-walled from time to time on how I WANTED TO CUSTOMIZE it and a handful of issues with major things like audio and graphics drivers not to mention streaming software for Twitch......UGH!

Went back to 7. I'll jump back in in 9 months.


Damn page hang caused double post...Sorry!

Installed on 75 million computers huh, well mine won't be 75 million and 1 for a long time. I'm on Windows 7 and all is right in for world for me right now as far as my PC is concerned. I'm sure I'll have to migrate at some point in time, but I don't see the rush to do it right now. Patience is virtue when it comes to migrating to a new Windows platform, especially if its a MS one IMHO.

How'd you roll back to Win 7? I think I'll have to do a complete install as the computer going flaky looked like a good reason to try the upgrade. Like you, I may be back in another 9 or 10 months.

Oh! I retired as a computer systems project manager. There aren't many my age with a degree in CS<:-)

I actually don't mind Windows 10 as I think it runs pretty nicely on my laptop although my desktop will not be moving from Windows 7 Ultimate any time soon. Btw, Edge is complete junk.

I wouldn't mind if Microsoft would just keep a truly Classic theme UI option. Just like newer Office applications, Windows is looking more and more like a large print book for old people.
