[alan w jones]

Hello I have gone over to Windows 10 now from 7 and I don't see a " Notepad or Wordpad " anywhere , or am I missing something ?
Any advice much appreciated

If you just type their name over the Start icon, they will appear with their location, usually System

Wordpad has been removed from all editions of Windows, but you should still have notepad - try using the search to see if it can find it.

So why have I still got it?

It's only been removed from W11 24H2 so if you have anything before that, including W11 23H2 it should still be there (ie use search to find it).
My desktop is now W11 24H2 and it has gone. Still on unupdated laptop.

Sorry, read that wrong. It has already been removed from Win11 and they say the plan is to remove it from all versions, whether that will impact Win10 users or not I'm not sure - I've just checked on my Win10 machine and it is still there although I never use it.

I'm using OpenShell but if I remember correctly, Notepad should still be available under the Accessories subfolder from the Start menu. Wordpad might be there too unless it has been removed.
