Those wishing to take a trip down Microsoft’s memory lane might find the following start menu tweak interesting. Generally speaking, operating systems get better as time goes on; the companies further advanced and are able to implement new ideas. It isn’t always the case, though, and some people really enjoy some features that are sure to become obsolete eventually when newer versions of Windows 10 roll around. That’s why tweaks such as installing Windows 7 Start menu in Windows 10 are so important.

One of the pet hates with Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 was that it didn’t come with the start menu. Most of us who have grown up with Windows struggled mightily to comprehend how to navigate around Windows without the start menu we’ve always known. It’s a classic example of how not all changes a company makes are improvements.

The Windows 10 start menu does a pretty decent job of taking us back to the old feature we all know and love, but it’s still not exactly the same. Those preferring to install the Windows 7 start menu can do so here:
