In what context?
In folder view? Just change the view option as with previous versions.

I am so reverting back to Windows 8.1. I knew I shouldn't have gone for the upgrade!

Nope that is already ticked, in my pictures folder there are no thumbnails showing at all, if i drag the picture to the desktop a thumbnail shows, drag it back and thumbnail goes, ! the view option is also correct, very weird

I got W8 for under £20 and Office 2013 for £10. or that money its a no brainer to have a legit copy.

Windows is not the money maker, Office is.


Office Home and Student used to be a licence for 3 systems at £80 or so, so a little over your £20 level. Now the Office 365 offering works out at £8 a month for up to 5 devices, whereas the home and student is one device only.


There are lower cost ways to buy the basic office but if you want Outlook, Access and Publisher then you have to buy the expensive boxed versions. Project is even worst...


Microsoft know businesses rely in it and so that's why Office prices remain high for the full fat versions.

Installed W10, [quite impressed] from W7.
All working reasonably well. Two problems I have no sound tried in settings and device manager tells me working fine.
Using external speaker, tried disconnecting and reconnecting no joy. The speaker/sound icon has disappeared from my tool bar, and the box that comes off of toolbar ^.
Sometimes I cannot get the tiles back up all I can get is the desktop. Until I restart PC.
Any helpful suggestions please.

Basic advice. Install the newest drivers for your hardware.

Freddy, bit surprised that classic shell is needed with W10. Are you using it for any particular reason or has this just been carried forward as part of your upgrade?


Cheers
