I don't agree with this. Or only partly so. The hierarchical structure of Windows 7 is not there. Windows 7 had two parts in its start menu (not counting the right side). The top was the applications you always wanted visible, the bottom the applications you started recently (or regularly, I never figured out which of the two )

In Windows 10, I don't care for the live tiles, but there is simply no way to make a hierarchical structure of the applications I always want visible.

After playing around with two different virtual machines, I decided I'll keep my Windows 7 for now. At least until I have to upgrade because my machine slows down to a crawl (not eligible for a free upgrade anyway, so no hurry either).
