I think they're mostly to do with the 'Live' store. I noticed that the 'buy' option was missing for some of the games. When I did a bit of research I discovered that the Anniversary Update would fix that issue and some other store related things. Apart from that, it doesn't seem to be much other than some cosmetic and interface changes to Windows 10 itself. I am very partial to Windows 10. But I do have 2 machines running Windows 7 plus another PC running XP for my older games and as a reminder of how Windows has changed over the years. I also have 2 laptops, one running Windows 10 and one running Vista. My latest project is to build a PC running Windows 98. I'm having major problems finding drivers for just about everything in the PC though. I think I need to look for much older parts. I looked on ebay and Amazon at some old P4's and P3's. They sell for ridiculously high prices, as do the single components from those days as well. Mrs Rob will not be amused. -- Rob
