#328 - In Windows 10 how do I switch from Win 8 appearance to Win 7 and vice versa?(Watt Thoughts)

Windows 10 will either select tablet mode by default if you are on a tablet PC or will select the old Windows 7 desktop if you are on a laptop or desktop. You can change the modes if you prefer the other one.

If your desktop in Windows 10 looks like Windows 8 with the tiles you are in tablet mode. To change to the Windows 7 view click on the Start button and choose Settings (if your Windows 10 has updated to the anniversary edition you will not see the word Settings but will see a gear which takes you to settings also). Then choose System. Now look in the left pane and find Tablet and click it. Then turn it off in the right pane and close and you will see the Windows 7 desktop.

If your desktop in Windows 10 looks like Windows 7 with the little icons you are in the Windows 7 appearance mode. To change to the Windows 8 tablet view click on the Start button and choose Settings (if your Windows 10 has updated to the anniversary edition you will not see the word Settings but will see a gear which takes you to settings also). Then choose System. Now look in the left pane and find Tablet and click it. Then turn it on in the right pane and close and you will see the Windows 8/tablet mode desktop.

This is a little article I am doing across the Internet of my personal opinions. This reflects my personal thoughts. I try to write several times a month on a variety of subjects. It may be religious at times, political at times, and at other times just my reactions on something happening out there. It will often be like an op-ed article. If I do what I intend, you will at times want to shout I agree, other times you will want to say Dwight has really lost it now, but most importantly I want to challenge you to think. Feel free to forward this to others. If you don't want to get this e-mail let me know. Feel free to use what you read from me, but I request you give me credit and send a tear sheet if published in a newspaper or magazine. Thanks.
