- Make Microsoft Mathematics the Default Calculator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ecH-vXpvWo
- Do not make the Windows 10 .iso Downloader like the Microsoft Software Recovery Tool; make it like the Windows 8.1 Media Creation Tool (and fix its bugs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3jUe9Q_Wg8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs6JbJTlxc8
- Don't make Media Centre an upgrade for Home users require an upgrade to Professional
- Don't bloat the alphabetical start menu with preinstalled Metro Applications. The tiles to the right are already infested by them at default settings. Put these Apps in a folder called Windows Apps.
- Allow Drag and Drop of Icons from the Start Menu to the Left to the Tiles to the Right.
Minor Feedback
- Windows Explorer icons look terrible, like they have been made from Microsoft Paint. Bring Back the Windows 8.1 icons or have an option for users to change them.
- Update the Windows and X Menu (Right Clicking the Start Button) to make it look like part of the Start Button.
- Add Windows Defender (Right Click Context Menus) and Add Windows Defender to the Windows and X Menu.
- Add Windows Defender Offline to the Windows and X Menu.
- Add a Utility to turn a Windows 10 .iso into a Bootable USB to the Windows and X Menu (and possibly download the .iso).
How to update windows 8.1 from windows 7 home premium
Windows 8.1 is not a free upgrade from Windows 7 you will need to pay for a Windows 8.1 product key to perform the upgrade. In my opinion the cost of the upgrade is not worthwhile.
Moreover it will be an extremely short lived upgrade.
In Late Summer Windows 10 will be released and Microsoft have made it know that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade to all Windows 7 users if they take the offer during the first year of Windows 10's release. It will also be a free upgrade for Windows 8.1 users if they take the offer after the first year of release.
As a consequence if you pay for a full license of Windows 8.1 then you will only get a few months use out of it and its not worthwhile.
This guide illustrates how to install Windows 10 Technical Preview (a pre-release test version). If you want to test this ensure you make the Factory Backup (Bootable USB Flash Drive) with Dell Backup and Recovery before proceeding.
