Windows 10: 8.1 > 10 & a Nice Surprise...

I just converted an 8.1 laptop to Windows 10 for someone; hands-on, not remotely. It was just as quick & seamless as expected, BUT here's the cool surprise... the taskbar layout is similar to what has been suggested for 21H2... Edge was an 84, but wanting to update & went to 89 AND ALL the Edge Settings icons had changed to Fluent Design icons; was fun for the owner to see the difference, the change. The Upgrade was done with a freshly acquired MCT & Up-Date Now, not with created media.

I'll put a picture of the taskbar here tomorrow.

Cheers,
Drew
