I personally loath Windows 8/8.1/10. The whole concept of live tiles is stupid and wasteful especially in a mobile environment. Battery life on Windows 8/8.1/10 devices is shockingly bad as a result and caused me to switch to a Mac. The only reason I purchased 8 to begin with is during my time at a callcenter to better educate myself about what a ****storm it was.
I'm with you I upgraded to windows 10 and rolled back to 7 because of the horrible internet interaction speed performance.
I'm guessing it is this on his (and only his?) System...

, most users use, IE 11. https://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=2&qpcustomd=0 I used chrome also in windows 10, it had the same problems as Edge, IE 11, so from all the testing I have been doing also help from people in this forum the problem is how windows 10 handles the browsers.

I have never noticed anything strange about browser performance on windows 10. The first thing I do with fresh install is getting firefox and add-ons.
As for windows mobile, my Lumia 930 easily lasts over a week between charges if I don't play games or watch netflix with it . I also happen to like the live tiles, I removed most of them so all tiles fit to the screen and mainly just check the weather, calendar or news.
Windows 10 is already usefull to me since I bought Ashes of the singularity. DX12 gives nice 50%+ boost to framerate.
BTW if anyone here is big on strategy titles I would recommend to give ashes a go. Devs have been extremely responsive to user feedback and you get to play vs them which is a bonus. There are pretty intense discussions about the gameplay mechanics where you can pitch in ideas.

3367 people are complaining of sometimes it freezes and lags some seconds before it responds. Microsoft says it is a problem and there working on it.
That must be a problem with Edge then. I don't really use it.
