I installed W10 on a virtual machine yesterday (been wanting to create a fresh one for some time, I figured the arrival of Visual Studio 2015 and Windows 10 was as good a time as I'll ever get).

Downloaded an ISO file, created a virtual machine in VirtualBox and started installing. I must say, the installation went rather smooth. One thing bugged me though, I couldn't give my PC a real name from installation, I had to do that afterwards.

Annoyances:
I want to get rid of that notification icon. I don't care for it at all. Can I remove it? The same with that search button next to the start menu button.
I don't want white title bars. I want them to use the theme colour! All very nice that a developer can set it, but let me overrule it. I did find a theme (on the internet, why is it not added by default?) so I could get rid of those white bars at least.
Which gets me to my third annoyance, why can't I pick any colour I want? I want red, but not the bright red the theme chooser lets me pick...

That's how far I got yesterday, just tweaking my fresh install so I could use it with the least annoyances...

I will have to get all annoyances to a bearable level before I even think about upgrading my PC itself (beside the fact that I won't be able to do an upgrade so reinstalling takes a lot of time...)
