Genuine Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Professional 64Bit DVD + COA ( Builders Pack )

I miss Windows Aero BUT.......
Ah - Windows 10........I'm not sure why the OS is such a difficult pill to swallow!....... Joe Average's reasons for disliking the OS are solely based on a lack of desire for change. If it was left to him we'd all still be running Windows XP which, don't get me wrong, was a great OS..........in it's day! To hardcore PC enthusiasts like myself, we rejoiced when MS finally decided to revamp the GUI and take advantage of the powerful PC's we had at the time when they released Windows Vista. Sadly though, for Joe Average his 'basic' PC was nowhere near powerful enough to run such an advanced OS. 2 years on, say hello to Windows 7. By 2009 the basic RAM spec of a cheap PC was about 2GB, which was more than enough for this graphically detuned version of windows. BUT when they cut the 'fat' from Windows Vista to make 7, they made an OS that was all things to all geeks, and Joe's alike. An OS which still looked pretty, with it's aero glass interface, but was toned down just enough to run nicely on Mr Average's PC - Great Job Microsoft. Along came Windows 8 (and 8.1) which even I thought was a disaster. The GUI looked far too simple, I hated the solid coloured tiles. The interface looked like it had been designed by a child. BUT I could see Microsoft's marketing strategy...... They had decided to start manufacturing their own hardware, which was going to have a specific build and therefore the GUI had to be detuned to suit. And they had also developed Windows RT for the ARM CPU, which maybe are great in your smartphone, but if you want fancy graphics, stick to an x86 CPU with a discreet graphics card. Windows 10 is a reasonable attempt at merging the best parts of windows 8.1 with windows 7. The graphics are still reasonably simple but nice enough not to be offputting to a geek such as myself. But windows 10 brings other features to the table such as better security as standard, the latest build has anti-ransomware features built in. I also like it's magical ability to be able to reinstall itself on demand to the last build without having to make up recovery partitions. How it works is magical (and I wrote my own OS recovery software for Windows Vista/7). I would say the main downsides are with this OS is that, if you leave the privacy settings unaltered, you will find Microsoft been able to spy on your every move while logged on to the PC. I also still don't like Microsoft edge. There are still some websites which do not work at all with this browser. But all in all, it's a pretty fine OS, for a Windows OS. I think we would all love the safety and security of Linux or a Mac OS but, until they make their OS's more compatible with the Windows eco-system (which won't happen) we are stuck in this symbiotic relationship. That's my 10p anyway!

Much needed module if you are retrofitting a towbar to your BMW
Vital piece of kit when retrofitting a towbar to your BMW. You will also require the wiring loom, and if you have any doubts always consult an auto electrician before attempting to install.
