She&#8217;d replaced an old Windows Vista PC. I&#8217;m confident that she&#8217;ll enjoy the Windows 10 experience (despite the increased hype of services) and find the interface somewhat similar to Vista. But here&#8217;s the gotcha &#8212; her new PC came with Windows 10 version 1511, not the latest Windows 10 version 1607, aka <strong>Windows Anniversary Update<\/strong>. The Anniversay version is even closer to the interface for Vista and Windows 7.<\/p>\n<p>Since the <strong>Windows Anniversary Update<\/strong> is delivered by Microsoft as a regular Windows Update, the typical way that someone will see the Anniversary Update (version 1607) is when they shutdown their PC and see the normal &#8220;do not turn your PC off &#8230; Windows is updating&#8221; alert. The other way is that you might be manually checking Update Status (in Settings) and find the &#8220;1607&#8221; update listed as ready for installation. The actual name of this Update, however, is &#8220;<strong>Feature update to Windows 10, version 1607<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Be prepared to be patient and not able to use your PC for a few hours, either when you manually say to install the Update or when automatically doing so at shutdown. There&#8217;s an on-screen note that your PC will restart several times. On one of my PCs, after the first restart, the &#8220;Working on updates&#8221; (percentage) progress was agonizingly slow. And there&#8217;s still a &#8220;getting things ready&#8221; stage near the end of the Update.<\/p>\n<p>Also note that with this Windows Anniversary Update, Microsoft changed the time during which you can rollback to the previous version &#8212; only 10 days (rather than 30 days).<\/p>\n<p>The Windows Anniversary Update is better than the prior version. Just set aside a few hours, including time to check and retune some settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, the other day I helped a client setup a new Windows 10 desktop PC.
