Windows 10: Can we get a setting for allowing Windows interfaces to look like older versions?

I am a windows 10 user and don't like windows 11 simplicity. Can there possibly be a update in the future that allows people to not need to adjust to windows 11s new interface, and instead change the looks and functionally to that of an older windows verison. So if i want to make my computer look and fictional like windows 10,8,7,xp, etc. That i can do it without having to downgrade my verison. Maybe call that setting Windows Legacy. And it would have the windows version and the corresponding logo to that version next to it. And once selected, the interface, taskbar, and app icons would be rep

Swapping to an older version of windows

Is there still an official way to drop back to an older version of windows, I honestly don't mind using a 3rd party way. If possible, can you list step by step instructions or a link to an easy to use website. Thanks.

 

Can I make windows 10 look like XP like windows 7 allows me to do ?

Hi Mac,

• When you say, "window looks like windows XP" what exactly are you referring to?
• Are you referring to any specific view or settings?

Please be informed that, Windows 10 interface is completely different from Windows XP. Windows 10 offers a number of benefits over its predecessors, including improved boot and wake-from-sleep times, the ability to run Universal apps, the Cortana voice assistant
and Xbox game streaming. Unfortunately, we cannot make windows 10 look like XP.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you need any further assistance.

 

The setting shows my resolution is 1920x1080 but everything looks like it's 1366x768 sized icons.
