Very different. Seems to be better. Getting used to the navigation. My work laptop the hard drive ate it Friday. Windows 7 was on it, 10 years old. Canning beans right now trying to get a handle on this new contraption.

We still have two desktops running Windows 7. Could have upgraded them to 10 but figured it would just slow them down. When they die we will go to 10 but not before. I do believe you can change 10 to make it look and act like Windows 7.........but don't hold me to it.

Had a power surge take our PC down a few years back, upgraded to 10 where was a learning curve but OK. I will not trust iCloud for any kind of storage , I do not use MS Anti Virus programs instead use Norton. I have a couple friends will not go to a Windows program are beginning to reconsider as LINUX they have had finally been hacked and cannot fix it at all on their systems when do get infected.

Have an old printer that worked fine with Windows 7, computer died so new computer with Windows 10. Get along sort of OK with W10 but the "experts" say there is no way that the old printer will "talk" to the new computer with W10. Solution is new printer. Really upsets me to junk a perfectly good printer because the W10 isn't smart enough to work with the old printer.

Same here with a laser printer. I still use 7 on my laptop, desk unit and work are 10, I am able to get what I need. some of the things they said 10 fixed I'm not sure needed fixing. I do like being able to print a document wireless from my office without buying another printer or getting up to hook up a cable. Got into a discussion with phone internet IT guy while waiting on router to reset, we agreed, anything is better than Vista.
