Windows 10 is a stable operating system with plenty of new features and improvements. The latest version of Windows 10 although it includes hundreds of new features, it lacks some of the features offered in previous versions of Windows.
Popular features of Windows 7 like Desktop Gadgets, Windows Media Center, personalization panel, classic Windows 7 games like Solitaire and Spider Solitaire, and classic Start menu features have been dropped from Windows 10. Some of the features introduced with Windows 8 have also been absent from Windows 10 for reasons best known to Microsoft.
Although most of the classic features have been replaced with a better alternative, users who have used classic features for a long time will surely miss them while on Windows 10.
