Windows 10: Can I Change my desk top view to windows classic view

How do I change my desktop view to windows classic view in windows 10

:)

 

Windows 10 Classic View not found

For Windows 10, Microsoft lists the following way to use the Classic View (as in Windows 7):

To change the Start menu to Classic view

The classic view of Start menu is based on previous version of Windows.

• 
  Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button
  
  
  , clicking
  Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking
  Taskbar and Start Menu.
  
• 
  Click the Start Menu tab, click Classic Start menu, and then click
  OK.
  

That sounds OK, except that in the latest version of Windows 10 "Appearance and Personalization" is not found in the Control Panel--only "Personalization," without an option for Classic Start menu, is given. So what has Microsoft failed to say or update?

I realize that third party apps (to give a Windows 7 experience) are available, but I would like to know what Microsoft itself offers in terms of the Classic View.

Similarly, in Windows 10 is there a way to add folders to the C-drive in the classic way, as opposed to creating a folder in Desktop under This PC and then adding folders there? (I do not want to go to Desktop, then a Desktop folder, every time that I want
to view or create a folder--those are tiresome extra steps compared to the Classic way of creating a folder on the C-drive.)
