Open the link Chrissie posted. It tell you on there.

Windows10 isn't better or worse than Windows7 just different.
I thought Windows XP was even better

I would be interested to hear what you find hard to get to grips with.

In terms of "look and feel" W10 isn't that much different from W7 but from a performance point of view it wins hands down.

Sorry for delay in answering IGP My laptop keeps updating every day since installing windows 10 and then it makes the page go bigger than the screen size, my daughter has now sorted it for me.:) I guess I have just got so used to windows 7 and being an 'old foggy' I find new things hard to get used to. I cant go back to windows 7 as I've had windows 10 fro quite a few weeks. Thanks all for you help though. :)

You're not an old foggy. Get rid o that idea. You're just being presented with the same stuff differently.

Don't worry about it. Keep us posted.

There are ways of adjusting the page and text size

Thank you David. I know how to adjust the text size but just couldn't do the page size, but as I said my daughter came to the rescue. I will keep persevering with it though, lol. :-S

AnnMarie, go back to the start in lower corner,
from there go to settings
click on display.
go to ststem
On that page you can not only change the text size but the page size.

You're welcome Ann, did it work?

David, my daughter put it back to normal for me on sunday but will keep in mind what you have told me for next time. :-)

Ann, I feel sure you will get used to Windows10. Were you to revert to Windows7 you would see Microsoft would withdraw support, same as they did with WindowsXP :-)
