Windows Central Question

My wife was the last in our household to switch to Windows 10 - on her tablet, oh Lordy!

She's not happy with me. Apart from a few simple games, she's mainly browsing and using the calendar, both of which are a total fail in tablet form as far as she is concerned. The problem is, I think she has a point.

The Modern IE browser for tablet had very intuitive and useful swipe gestures, plus extremely finger friendly bookmarks and navigation. The Edge tablet interface seems no different to the desktop one, not much use on a tablet.

The reason why I have to roll her back to Windows 8.1 is the calendar. I cannot find a way for her to create or edit an appointment at times other that 30 minute increments in the drop-down. It's totally ridiculous. I mainly set appointments on my phone, which has the two time 'rollers' to set any hour/minute combination. Is there an option for this in W10 Calendar?

Before I do the roll-back for her, have I missed the obvious? Can someone show me how to set an appointment for any time I choose, or is it impossible?

Yeah, my partner has the same kind of comments when she uses Edge (she has my old Surface 2).

I'd advise setting up the appointment times in outlook.com, which gives you a richer editing experience. We're expecting better touch functionality to come in the next couple of months or so.

Ditto using Outlook Calendar via web.

It's the only place I can make my "Cricket expires" entry for every 30 days rather than once a month, which is 2 very different animals.
