Microsoft released Windows 10 less than 2 weeks ago. I wrote a short article about whether or not to update to Windows 10 here, if you want to read it.
In today’s video tip, I point out some of the changes in Windows 10’s Start menu (yes it is back you disgruntled Windows 8 users…me included), the Windows Explorer, now renamed File Explorer, and some quick tips on how to customize the Start Menu and get familiar icons back like Control Panel and My Computer, now renamed This PC.
This will be the first of many Windows 10 related tips you will see here at HelpMeRick.com! I would really enjoy hearing from you about tips you would like to share or issues you would like me to expand on regarding Windows 10 or any computer topic…just leave a comment below!

Thanks for your comment…yes, look for the print button at the bottom of any tip.
I tried windows 10 for a few days. It took away all of my permissions. I went to each permissions block, changed them to me, and it would not recognize them. I felt forced to revert back to 8.1 to get my permissions back, which is what i did.

I have Vista on the desktop. I mostly use it for printing and typing documents. Is there any way I can put windows 10 on the desktop
Hello. You can use this link to see if your computer is compatible. The tool is for Windows 8.1, but would also mean your computer is compatible. However, you cannot upgrade to Windows 10 for free from Vista, you would have to pay for the upgrade.
Thanks Rick, Very helpful.
Thank you!!
How long after downloading Windows10, should we wait for updates and changes before we have you “tune-up” our computers. Thanks Elmer
Thanks for your comment and good question. Updates will happen automatically like previous versions of Windows. For Tune-ups, I still recommend using CCleaner once per month.
