Windows 10... From an Apple Guy

I bought a Windows 10 Laptop on the cheap last week from Unclaimed Baggage. I am super impressed with this OS. My 2011 MacBook Pro runs High Sierra and this Windows OS feels much more fresh and easy to use. My MacBook Pro is fast so I am not talking about speed.

I forgot how nice it is to have a 10 key pad on my notebook. What are these ports on the side? Yep, VGA, HDMI, 4 USB ports!!! NO DONGLES NEEDED!!! NICE!

Has anyone else found Windows 10 to be really good?

Thanks!

To my taste the tiled interface is a negative, but on the whole it's still NT under the hood, so I'm OK with it. It's been reliable, which is job one for an OS.

That's why I left Apple. They give you the least hardware for twice the price. Same thing with their phones. There was a time when they we're worth it, but that time is long past. I do have both Window's and Apple computers. The Apple's don't last any longer, at least not for me, so I stopped shelling out the big bucks for them.

Hmm... that's interesting. I have found no problems. Its very nice being able to add "tiles" to the start menu for quick access. I didn't think I would like it, but I do. Give it a try if you can. (a real test drive) before you write it off.

I did make the task bar icons smaller so I could fit more. Overall, its a great experience.

Thanks!
