Installed the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update. · 1:10am Oct 25th, 2017
Finally we see something close to Aero from Windows 7 again!
In this case, it's the earliest form of Acrylic, which is Microsoft's new design language that they've been trying to push onto Win10 starting with this update. While it's nice to see a decent level of translucency return outside of the taskbar, action center, and Start Menu, most things that aren't made directly by Microsoft still clearly lack the translucency on their title bars like on Windows 7.
And yes, I was one of those people that stuck with Windows 7 until I built a whole 'nother computer last year.
EDIT: I also like how Task Manager now shows GPU usage. It's neato. ^_^
yep the creator update for win10 is interesting. it has a few bugs and one i find to be really bothering in that it kills all on board webcams.
as to gadgets and win 10 i have only found one place that has them and they really work (and are safe and bug free.)

Eh. I've found that a lot of the apps that include live tiles on the Start menu serve as decent replacements for desktop gadgets. Before I switched to Win10 the only gadget I ever used at all was a weather gadget, and now I just have the built-in weather app on Win10.
I still use windows 7

If I remember correctly extended support for that lasts until 2024.
