You can make Windows 8 behave very much like
Windows 7. With far less work than it takes to reinstall an alternate
operating system, you can create a reasonable facsimile of Microsoft’s
best user interface.
First, you need a third-party Start Menu program. There are many
out there, but my favorite is the free Classic Shell. It creates a very close approximation of the Windows 7 Start Menu, with all of the features in the right places.
