I have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and I miss the Desktop Gadgets from Windows 7. What happened to them and can I bring them back?
Answer
Microsoft retired the Desktop Gadgets in Windows 8 to push the usage of Store Apps. The purpose of the gadgets are served by the Live Tiles that you can pin to Start/Start menu.
You can use 3rd party installers which bring back the Windows 7 sidebar if you really like them.
click next and wait until the setup is finished. Now do a right click on the desktop to open the Gadgets again and drag & drop the requested gadgets to the desktop:
That's it, now your Gadgets are back on the desktop.
