    How do I make this less miserable?


    I have not used a computer in probably over 5 years. I have just used my phone for my business. Gmail and Google calendar were all I needed. I just bought the Lenovo Flex 15. I am not loving the tiles and the Microsoft apps. Is there anyway to get shortcuts to what I actually use like Gmail (not their mail tile). I don't use any of their products. I am regretting not just going with a Chromebook, but the hardware seems inferior and I wanted a nice laptop. I feel like this thing is not user friendly. My husband is a Mac guy and is just as confused as me. Any direction is appreciated. Like I just want my gmail contacts. Not a People tile.... Do the old school small short cut icons I used to be able to have not exist anymore?

    Roll back to windows 7 fails (quite miserably)

    Perhaps you misunderstood. The roll back was attempted per instructions and failed miserably. I'd I not done a complete mirror image of the system prior to installing Windows 10 I'd have been dead in the water. I did get back to windows 7 but not by the
    instructions given, because of the issues listed in my original post. In short IT DIDN'T WORK!

    What happens if I am miserable with Windows 10?

    When I originally went from Windos 7 to 8, I was miserable.

    When I got the new PC it came with Windows 7 Pro.

    What happens if I upgrade into 10 and am miserable? Am I stuck with it? Do I wind up not being able to get 7 again, unless it is purchased?

    Is there a Beta to try and see if I like it?
