If you are using a version of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 with <strong>Windows Media Center<\/strong> then you are going to miss it while using Windows 10. The Media Center feature will be completely removed during the Windows 10 upgrade. Similarly, the desktop gadgets will be also not available in Windows 10.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_You_can_downgrade_from_Windows_10_to_Windows_7_or_8\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">(9) You can downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 7 or 8<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Microsoft not only offering you a new Windows operating system but also offering you multiple ways to feel satisfied and select what you actually want.
