Disable windows key shortcuts in Windows 10

Hi everyone, in Windows 7 I use Displayfusion and had quite a few functions bound to windows key + another key. However, it seems that all these shortcuts have already been taken in Windows 10 by default. For example I use Win + X to switch a window to the next monitor but that is already used in Windows 10 for the power user menu. I was wondering if there was anyway for me to reassign these shortcuts so I can continue to use win + x and other shortcuts for Displayfusion?

That's a bummer, I also have shortcuts bound to win + z,a,q,c. Guess I'll have to figure out another combination that works comfortably. Also soundswtich doesn't work on windows 10 which kinda sucks. I'm assuming you're also using Displayfusion. How do you find the experience in Windows 10?

:/ I'm still adjusting to using alt... Must say 10 is WAY snappier than 7 and a little bit snappier than 8/8.1.

 

 

Also this is one of the first topics I have seen in a long time with an issue in windows 10 that isn't about an error I've seen on here 100+ times.

Actually when I first started up Windows 10, I was having quite a hard time with it. The graphics drivers weren't working and for some reason couldn't change the resolution at all. Had to restart a few times for things to start to work. Played around in it for a little bit before reverting back to 7.

 

Need to figure out an alternative for soundswitch since it doesn't seem to work in Windows 10. I know Displayfusion has that function built in but requires more buttons for activate it. In soundswitch I just used the pause/break button which was really convenient.

 

Also need to figure out if autohotkey works for windows 10. I have a small script for multimedia stuff.

 

Do you know if I do a fresh install, do I just input my old Windows 7 key or do I need to update to windows 10 first then do the fresh install? Do they give you a new key?

 

How are you finding the new start menu? When I first saw it, I thought it was a little confusing.

 

Overall, I have a bit of planning to do before I make the switch permanent. I'd also like to get a bigger SSD too.
