[BLOG] Windows 10: What won't make the update

As we know, soon Windows 10 will be released to the public with a latest Windows update allowing for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users to reserve their copy if they wish.

However, as with every update some things will not be making their way across to the new version. We've already seen this with Microsoft's attempt to remove the Start button for another system for Windows 8, which didn't really work out as it will be making a return for Windows 10.



This time, Windows Media Centre is biting the dust, as well as the long-lived Solitaire, Minesweeper and Hearts games; although the latter is being replaced with newer versions named Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Microsoft Minesweeper.



Here's the full list of depreciated features:

  • If you have Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, or Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center and you install Windows 10, Windows Media Center will be removed.
  • Watching DVDs requires separate playback software
  • Windows 7 desktop gadgets will be removed as part of installing Windows 10.
  • Windows 10 Home users will have updates from Windows Update automatically available. Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise users will have the ability to defer updates.
  • Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Hearts Games that come pre-installed on Windows 7 will be removed as part of installing the Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft has released our version of Solitaire and Minesweeper called the “Microsoft Solitaire Collection” and “Microsoft Minesweeper.”
  • If you have a USB floppy drive, you will need to download the latest driver from Windows Update or from the manufacturer’s website.
  • If you have Windows Live Essentials installed on your system, the OneDrive application is removed and replaced with the inbox version of OneDrive.
Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
