Re: HELP, please: missing folder..How do you searc

searching for a file or folder isn't much different from older versions - in file explorer, make sure you have clicked on 'my computer' so it searches everything on your computer (and not just one folder or sub-folder), and do a word search. File Explorer is complicated now because everything will appear twice - in their normal folders, and in folders as part of commonly used folders/files. It's a lot of noise to those of us who prefer our own organizational methods.

be aware that installing Windows 10 will reset privacy settings, it will reset how you receive updates (I used to have "notify me" but it switched to automatic), and by default it will install, open, and leave open Skype so your computer is always listening and your camera is always running (that can be turned off in settings). In addition, they will constantly push their voice assistant, Cortana, disturbing the flow of your work.

The biggest problem is that Microsoft now treats all computers like phones, pushing less-friendly processes and treating many programs as "apps" so you have to be signed on to the internet to use them
