Anyone have any nifty tips and tricks for new Windows 10 users?
                  

Like people who are new to windows or just things to do when getting a brand new laptop?

This guy (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnI14172Jam1j8VQARxlXJA/) has nice desktop tutorials
Pin settings and task manager to taskbar
TaskbarX (https://chrisandriessen.nl/)
This Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3f10k0/things_to_removedisable_in_windows_10/) do it
This other Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/b7pavw/hey_reddit_what_are_some_must_have_programs_for/) you can if you want
Final Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/8o6txz/what_are_the_best_things_to_do_with_a_clean/) pretty much like the second thread

 I am not new to Windows, just never used Win 10 specifically. Had a Win7 machine earlier.
Just purchased a Win10 laptop.

For the most part it doesn't, but I just found out like a day or 2 ago that sandbox was only available on pro

I have never used a vm in my life, so it is highly unlikely i am going to need a sandbox.

Well, if you ever do decide to use a VM, i'd highly suggest:
https://www.virtualbox.org (https://www.virtualbox.org)
It runs on most Windows 10 machines out of the box, regardless of whether you're using Home or Pro, and in some cases you'll need to enable Virtualization in the Bios.
