We've been using versions of it since before Windows 95, after all! So 'Control Panel' is by far the most comfortable.

Only lately have they become functional enough for me to trust and use. I've strongly resisted the 'Apps' versions of things since they've been introduced. But they're all considered version upgrades.Ħ) No way to do it 'wrong'. Advanced feature set available with Pro.ĥ) I haven't looked closely enough, but there are enough differences to call, say, 1709 and 20H2 almost completely different versions.

Completely different versions of Windows, despite the 'backbone' being roughly similar.Ĥ) No. Some different enough to be considered 'new', rather than 'updated'.ģ) 7 vs 8 vs 10? Yes. Probably with the newest version, 20H2.Ģ) If it's two-digit month, no idea where 'H2' comes from.

I typically search / open control panel and rarely go into settings intentionally. would you call those different versions of windows?Ĥ) and windows 10 home vs. I see the traditional' machine version is 1.746 (open a dos window and type ver)Īnd 1 machine with newer / different page is 2.685 - newer version.ġ) So MS changed things between those versions related to the properties page of the machine?Ģ) Anyone know how those versions above compares to the 2004 and other versions number I hear mentioned (2 digit year and 2 digit month of release?)ģ) Asking people that know much more than me: windows 7 vs windows 10. Different look, I guess - remote settings, device maanger, are on the right now. open windows explorer / file explorer and right click on 'my PC' choose properties and you get a window, at least on 1 machine here, says 'view basic info about yoru computer', w/ links on the left - device manager, remote settings, etc.īut on some win 10 pro machines I am seeing that it brings up a 'settings' page instead. I think it's just because of different versions of win 10 pro? microsoft keeps changing things?įor the longest time / different windows 7, xp, etc.
