Windows 10 Explorer File Details Pane

I am looking to have the file details pane on the bottom of the file explorer window and not to the right of the files list. For me it is useless to have it off to the right as it requires my file explorer window to be too wide.

My workflow requires me to have up to 8 separate file explorer windows open at the same time. I reduce the width of each so I can have them side by side on a second monitor. In windows 7, I was able to have the file details at the bottom of this window
which would give me a thumbnail of the image selected.

It seems silly that Microsoft took that away and "Submitting if for an improvement" sounds stupid when it used to work and now it doesn't. Sounds like a case of two steps forward and three steps back. Thanks Microsoft...
