Windows 10: The beginning of the end for Control Panel
#1
Information 
Quote:Microsoft has started testing the removal of the venerable System control panel on Windows 10 and instead redirecting users to the modern About page.
 
The System control panel allows users to get a brief overview of the operating system version, network configuration and installed hardware.
 
Commonly used to determine the Windows 10 version, computer name, and workgroup, and installed CPU and memory, the System control panel has been an often-used tool since it was introduced in Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 95.
 
As spotted by WindowsLatest, in Windows 10 Insider build 20161, Microsoft is rolling out a change that redirects users to the Windows 10 About page when trying to open the System control panel.
