Us old'uns don't want all the bells and whistles that inevitably comes with anything new these days. I don't want to spend half a day figuring out what changed after the latest updates.....
It's most often nothing noticeable to the average user like us but if you want to know what the updates are, bookmark this page...

Just look for the latest date in the left-hand column under the heading 'In this release'.

Works perfectly fine for me, no complaints at all.

I do use Classic Shell to make the menus look like the more familiar WIN 7 menus. There is an open source version I believe which I keep meaning to try.

There were plenty of independent tests done on WIN 10 when it first came out to show it loaded faster than WIN7. I am sure if you Google you can find them.

WIN 7 really was bloatware as they had just added to all the earlier versions of Windows. Win10 was written from the ground up (if you believed M$ speel) but it definitely loaded and performed faster even with the tricks that M$ performed to make it look faster.

Anything missing from WIN10 can be replaced with excellent open source programs.

Mine, too - Microsoft Money2005-UK-QFE2 - IIRC, it required a patch to work correctly, though .....

Some have to either put a patch on, or run in compatibility mode.

But it works fine.
