it was a long and annoying process, and it's not quiiiite done yet, but i have windows 10 pro running and a couple games installed that i haven't actually tested yet oops

the last few bits and bobs are on the way and should arrive between this saturday and next saturday; im gonna dual boot with some flavor of linux and im gonna have a big storage drive and im gonna have a bunch of usb ports and stuff mounted in the drive bays and its gonna be great

so hey, does anyone have any suggestions for scripts and addons and stuff to make win10 more good and less bad? i already used MAS to activate it, so what other stuff is out there that i can do

@typhlosion our suggestions:
- OOSU10 (a control panel for some of windows's less desirable features)
- Openshell (gives you back the windows 7 style start menu and other stuff)
- Everything (search program that works way better than windows search)
- Core Temp (monitor your CPU temperature, can put the temperature in the system tray)
- Irfanview (basic no-frills image viewer that supports even some weird formats)
- notepad++ (it's notepad, but good)

@typhlosion amusing side effect of installing Everything: you will now have a button in your start menu that says "uninstall everything"
