  1. What's the best way to make Windows 10 look like Windows 7?


    I'm a big fan of Windows 7. So much so that I've even considered downgrading to it, just for the nostalgia. However, as much as I hate it, a few games like Forza Horizon 3 are delivered in the new app format, and as such, I'd be missing out.
    I also know a few basic tricks like what you can do with WinAero Tweaker, but I was really mentioning more advanced replicas like the rounded corners, transparent titlebars, red X button on top of the windows, etc.
    I've tried the Windows 7 lookalike themes that are on DeviantArt, but none of them seem to work with the patches and hacks I tried to use. In fact, I think something went wrong when I installed UXThemePatcher, because now both the Control Panel and actual Settings app crash when I try to change my theme.
    I'm all for advice on this, especially on the Control Panel/Settings app crash. Please forgive my bad English, as I'm from Brazil and it's not my mother tongue.
    I'm not sure if this is the right flair for this but I sure hope it is.

  2. Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

    All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

    As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

    im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
