Well, after a year of harassment via popup ads asking me to switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10, Microsoft took it upon themselves to make the switch for me without the hassle of asking first. Anyone know how to turn the computer off (other than manually) without a "Start" button in Windows 10?

kenner The small Windows "flag" at bottom left replaced the round start button. One of the options in the menus that show up is a power button. Click it. I'm still getting a little used to calling programs apps but all in all W10 is pretty good.

Not that I really want to advocate for anything the Apple cartel thrusts upon an ignorant and stupid public, but you gotta admit that Microsoft and their tactics with regards to forcing things on you, just sucks.

Sorry, but the only thing Microsoft left in my bag is whatever my company is forcing me to work on. The wife is happy with her iphone and ipad, and their lack of viruses and never-ending reboots, so that is where we stay.

PIGDivot I would argue it's 10 times worse with Apple. Thanks to them, my iPad2 is a giant paperweight.

The only apple product I have that works is my iPad Nano... and it's garbage too.

RIGHT click the little windows icon and you will see some options.

I thought this was going to be a thread about my wife and her sisters.

Man people, give Win10 a shot. Works like a charm on all my machines. Best Windows release in a long long time. Yes, it looks a little different, use the silly 5 minute "what's new" video from MS and you'll figure it out.

Better than all previous versions, in my opinion.
