I think the key is in spending some time in understanding how to set it up with just the applications and tools one most uses and arranging them on it into named groups most convenient for oneself. If not it is easy after first installing Windows 8 (and now Windows 10 if one elects to use Tablet mode on a PC) to look at the Start screen covered in tiles for all sorts of social and other unwanted Apps and wonder what the hell it is one has struck. First thing I did was delete everything off it and just put on and grouped the applications and tools that I wanted.
We use Tablet Mode now with Windows 10 on all our own PCs.
About the only thing I have to rethink with Windows 10 is the fact that Edge does not yet support RSS feeds. So I am still tossing up whether to stick with IE11 for a while or use a dedicated RSS feed application (none of the Apps in the Store seem to suit our purpose). |
If you set up the start menu like you set up the start screen, isn't the start menu easy to use as well? Is there something on the start screen easier to use than a properly set up start menu? I know most people don't set up the start menu, and using it as is is a pain.
