I got this from a trusted friend via Facebook..

"Do you hate Windows 10?
The main thing that makes it slow is that it reports back to Microsoft almost constantly. Here is how to turn all that off and speed it up by quite a bit:
Click on the windows icon on the bottom left of the screen.
Click on Settings, then Privacy. Turn everything on that screen off.
In the search bar in Privacy Settings, type in Cortana.
Turn everything off in the Cortana settings.
Go back to the main Settings screen.
Type Apps in the search bar.
In the Apps page click Choose which apps can run in background.
Turn them all off.
Enjoy your much faster computer.
And to make all this easier to do and get back the look and feel of Windows 7, download and install classicshell.net
It is free and makes life with a 10 computer much less frustrating..."

Thanks Tim. Saved for future reference. Still using Win 7 but I know
eventually I'll have to switch.
