Thank you.
FYI I also found out that all the old shortcuts are saved at C:\Windows.old\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\StartMenu
The most surprising thing for me was how many apps got removed.
I am the kind of person who does not use nor want nearly all of the MS apps that get installed, but I concede that for someone like your mother or neighbor they might be useful.
One other disappointment was that the fingerprint reader is not working. This may be at least partially Lenovo's fault since their site only had a Win 8.1 driver but no Win 10 driver but I was thinking that Win 10 was going to handle supporting fingerprint devices on its own. However I cannot find any Biometric option in Control Panel nor any way to access any type of setting related to fingerprint.
I just upgraded a Thinkpad from Win 8.1 Pro to 10 and the BIG news is that it wiped out many if not most applications. It also took the liberty of deleting shortcuts that I spent a long time creating in my own custom menus, something which is unforgivable.
Another thing is that it totally messed up all my Explorer view settings. Many of the folders I had set to list view switched to detailed view. This has been extremely aggravating.
Yes, during install it asks you if you want to disable a ton of privacy-compromising features and I recommend to disable ALL of them.
It also takes the liberty of installing a bunch of Microsoft apps (again as v.8 did) which I did not ask for nor want, and tries to set them as the defaults. There is an option to customize apps during the initial setup however many of these apps appear to be uninstallable which is like WTF?
Also if you hit the Win key to quickly search for an app, Microsoft took the liberty of forcing you to also search through shit on the web and I don't see any easy way to change the search scope to disable that.
I'm not impressed with Windows 10 but I may endure it and attempt to grapple with/fix the BS.
Just beware when upgrading that it will WIPE many if not most of your apps completely!
hehe no just pwgen -say -n 256
by the way, on the topic of techniques for generating secure passwords, just look at that wonderful string above and you will find many useful blobs of text that can be concatenated together to make great passwords. Enf Ddra NyiOz p4u GwET N/b0y Eez8 BoLU etc. Nothing beats a random password generator for creativity and randomness.
Just put some strings together to sound like some exotic place you'd like to visit or perhaps the name of some exotic thing, and remember it.
Humans will kill off the ecoweb that sustains them and most species will go extinct. In the far, far distant future another species will evolve enough to investigate and figure out what happened and be completely shocked at this appalling species which caused so much monumental destruction.
LOL. I love you.
But seriously I really think a lot of the more experimental Lenovo line designs would be fun to try if only - if only - they had trackpoints.
I always see a lot of Japanese dramas where there are Lenovo's and I get excited until there's a shot which shows the keyboard and the lack of trackpoint.

Here you go.
Really? What do you prefer to use for file management? A piece of poo on the end of a stick?

I guess this is the kind of thinking or lack thereof that prevails in the age of emojis and twits.

Without a trackpoint I don't even want to look at it. Wtf is up with Lenovo not putting trackpoints on a lot of their laptops?
