    More customization options for Windows 10 installations on desktop systems


    I would like to see Windows 10 have far more options for customizing the OS than it currently has. The best equivalent to what I would want is the various package management systems used by Linux and other OSes to allow me to control what software packages are installed on my system, ranging from a minimal desktop environment with nothing but the few specific items needed to run the system all the way to the standard Windows desktop environment with all its features. Microsoft already does this to a certain extent for embedded Windows versions.


    I can understand not wanting the standard versions to be like this, as it goes against having everyone on the same version with the same components to minimize the difficulty of troubleshooting problems, but it still should be an option for those who know what they're doing and want to build up their system to match their needs.


    As a side note, it would also be nice to have a true root user account that can do anything up to and including deleting the system. I don't like being told no when I absolutely need to perform a certain task just because someone decided it's potentially bad and/or could make the system unstable. I'd be OK with a warning message that asks if I'm really sure I want to do what I'm trying to do, but flat out refusing to perform the actions commanded by the local administrator isn't necessarily the appropriate response. This isn't exclusive to Windows 10, and has been an issue since at least XP, possibly earlier.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    After going into custom install options during the process of installation of your operating system of choice there is an option listed as Drive options advanced options or something like that. A simple Google will get you the answer you're looking for pretty quickly
