Windows 10: Windows 8 Start Menu STYLE in Windows 10

Dear all,

On my Asus UX305, I kept my Windows 8.1, because I actually like the Start Menu.

I know that it is possible to have a similar setup in Windows 10, but it definitely does not look the same. Is there a way that I can edit the background of the Start Menu in Windows 10 to make it look like Windows 8.1 (see images)?

How can I get the Windows 7 start menu on Windows 10 ?

Hi.

You may need to install a third-party program to get Windows 7 menu style in Windows 10.

I use Start10 from Stardock.

There may also be free programs. Please have a look at this: < Windows 7 style Start Menu link >

Hope this helps.

 

Can I get the Windows 8.1 start screen back in Windows 10?

I want to know if it is possible to get the Windows 8.1 style start screen in Windows 10.

I don't mean a full screen start screen only, I want the "real" Windows 8.1 style start screen with a search button on the top right, user switching and power button, and a arrow down to the bottom left to see all apps.

I do not want a hamburger menu , that is not useful t all on a tablet for instance.

I see no point in getting back the Start menu since it is no longer 2009, I like the design of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, but seems this is all reverting to Windows 7 days of the past in Windows 10 and I feel this is a huge step back.

 

There's Tablet mode, which is supposedly similar to Win 8/8.1 start menu. To find it there's a on/off button under the action centre.

 

I just checked that mode, and it is not the same—it is not even similar.
