    Can I Copy a Windows 8.1 Start Screen to Windows 10?


    I have been hesitant to upgrade my wife's laptop from 8.1 to 10 because she exclusively uses the start screen (Aero, Metro, whatever its called). I did an upgrade for her a few months ago, but it wiped out all of the tiles that she had saved, so I had to revert back to 8.1. Is there a way to copy or backup the 8.1 start screen and restore it in the Windows 10 upgrade? Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

  2. The windows ten start screen is kind of uncomfortable

    So it's not a specific feature but I have seen the windows 8.1 start screen, and I'm not planning to get windows 8.1, I'm planning to get windows ten on a new computer. And since I'm not getting windows 8.1, I wish Microsoft could add the windows 8.1 start
    screen as an option for windows 10. I've seen the windows ten start screen, but it is kind of uncomfortable. I've seen the differences between the start screens. So I wish microsoft can add that as an option.

  3. Upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10

    I have been trying to reserve a copy. I have Windows 8.1. The Windows icon is my start menu and it is on the left, not the right. When I click on it, I get the screen with all the programs on the computer. No where does it pop up for me to put in my
    email to reserve? When I click the icon to customize, that is not shown as an option. Can someone help me reserve my copy?
