But there’s so many settings where you need to drill into the legacy control panel to change things properly. Want to do anything advanced with your network connections or adapters? Got to go into the old style network settings in the control panel. Want to change your audio output device (for example to output to Bluetooth headphones)? Got to go into the legacy control panel audio settings. Want to change your power settings to not go into standby when your laptop screen is closed? Legacy power settings. Want to enable windows features like IIS, hyper V, etc? You can add features in either one but the old fashioned one has a nice tree list with additional tooltip information, whereas the new Settings interface just has one long list that is clunky to interact with.



Want to change your audio output device

This you can do right from the volume control widget on the taskbar. One of the few things that's arguably easier and more obvious in Win 10 than in OS X (where you either have to hit the control panel or know to option-click the menubar doodad).
