Control Panelis one of thefeaturesthat Windows users are most acquainted with but by the looks of it, it seems that it will be ‘rebranded’ onceWindows 10becomes available. Or, who knows, maybe Microsoft will change its mind until then…

What you’re seeing above is an early preview build ofWindows 10(courtesy of WinAero), and we can see in it that theControl Panelhas been renamed into PCSettings. Most likely, it will be replaced with the modern PCSettingsapp that has made its way with the release of Windows 8.

The classicControl Panelwas in Windows since Windows 3.0, but now it seems that we’ll have to bid it farewell. The button inside This PC folder has been replaced with PCSettings, but this could be a temporary thing and it’s not excluded that Microsoft will keepControl Panel. After all, it’s anotherfeaturethat desktop users love.

However, most likely, the good oldControl Panelwill be consolidated inside the modern PCSettingsapp, and there will probably be some tweaks, as well. What do you think about this?
