This was also one of my biggest issues with Windows 8 (became slightly better in 8.1 and so far seems much better in 10).
There were so many things that were hidden behind what I would call "right-click in the middle of nowhere" and had no other way to access them (I assume that's supposed to be equivalent to the long press in a touch UI) that I never figured out until I gave up and went to youtube to figure out how the hell things work. Apparently you were intended to just go around right clicking on anything until something happened? I don't necessarily mind that they changed the UI, but I shouldn't have to go wade through a morass of bloated youtube videos just to figure out how to do anything. Even the Microsoft website never had instructions. And of course using builtin search (which used to be great on Windows) never explained shit about the modern UI.
