tl;dr: Directing the wind is not possible, being compelled to adjust my sails. How can I transition to Windows 10 and not suffer extreme loss in productivity.
Windows Classic Theme: How do I get something like this. I assume other Soylentils are like me and the first thing they do when logging onto a Windows XP/7 computer is change the theme to classic. Has anyone done this yet on Windows 10? In my very brief experience dealing with 10 I was unable to find a way to do this, I presume that they removed this because they are awful people.
Specifications: How powerful of a computer do I need to do the same thing I am currently able to do without any lag. I was compelled to do testing using an i7 laptop with 8gb of ram from a couple of years ago, I found I was unable to do any testing because it was bogged down at 95% CPU capacity just running the base OS. What should I be running to make this thing bearable. My job function is to review, build, maintain reports which can involve files large enough to bog me down on my current system (i7-5600U with 8gb), what hardware should I have, how much ram should I have.
Experience: What lessons did others here learn the hard way as they went though this process. I am aware of the updates causing data to be non exist and things of that nature. What are things that I need to know about in this new age of 10.
I am sure there are some other things I should ask, just can't remember ATM.
Just run Linux XD: I am not allowed to withdraw consent from Windows 10, but I am pushing off implementation as long as possible.

That is some wisdom of the ages there.
God, grant me beer to accept the things I cannot change,
the baseball bat to change the things I can,
and both for when I can't tell the difference.

Indeed, this prayer is worth memorizing, perhaps over most others!

That's funny. But even funnier when I misread "bat" as "hat".

Do NOT be surprised if you see that selling on a bumper sticker in the near future :)
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

It's released under the beerware license. If you use it, like it, and happen to be conveniently situated to, buy me a beer sometime.
