My Experience with Windows

Ive started using windows my 6th grade year which was 2012-2013, I got introduced to windows 7, then Windows 8.1, then  Windows 10. My experience with windows 7 was the best experience anyone who came from the Mac OS X operating system could ever come to. When I started using Windows 7 I had a basic idea how to navigate through the different menus and little shortcuts that Windows users would know. To this day I still have at least 1 computer running windows 7. When I got introduced to windows 8.1 it was at the middle school I was attending. My first thought of windows 8.1 was this is cool new task bar look. The only think I don't like about Windows 8.1 is the full screen start menu, but other than that I would say Windows 8.1 is similar to windows 7 in the User Interface. When I got introduced to Windows 10 is when Microsoft was offering a free upgrade in June of 2015. I upgraded my Lenovo A300 from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Professional. At the time i though that windows 10 was the best. But after I used windows 10 for a couple of months, I decided to back all my files up and go back to Windows 7 because I just didn't like that Windows 10 didn't have a built in software for creating DVD's that can be played in DVD players. So I do have at least 1 computer that I own running all 3 Windows Operating System.

Customizing Windows cursors


So i just recently found out how to change the cursors, so I found where the cursors were located in windows under the C drive in the windows folder. I changed the default windows 10 cursors to the windows 7 cursors in windows 10. It is truly amazing how many differences windows has between windows 7 and windows 10.


To change the cursors for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 go to Control Panel  find Mouse then click on Pointers
Make sure that you have the different cursors that you want to use. To change the cursor you will have to click on the cursor that you want to change and click browse to locate the cursor.

You can also use Mac OS cursors on your windows computer, you will just have to search for a Mac OS cursor pack.
