Editor to share with you how to make Windows 10 more like Windows 7, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's learn about it!

Q: I was forced to upgrade to windows 10, and I hate it! Is there any way to make it more like Windows 7?

A: the dramatic changes in the windows 10 interface and privacy concerns are the reasons why many people are reluctant to switch before they are forced to do so.

If you are concerned about the privacy of windows 10, Wired published an excellent article reviewing how to check all privacy settings.

Remove tiles

One of the first things that trigger new users of windows 10 is the tile that appears on the right side of the start menu.

You can delete any blocks by right-clicking them and choosing unpin from start, or if you want them to take up less space, select Resize to shrink the blocks.

If you delete all the blocks, you will leave something that looks more like a list of Windows 7 programs.

Windows 7 start menu

If you do want the start menu of windows 10 to look like Windows 7, you can download a utility called Open Shell, formerly known as Classic Shell and Classic Start.

This utility is called an open source project, which means that any programmer who wants to contribute new functionality can use the source code. It also means that it resides on a website, which may confuse some people.

If downloading and installing your files is too confusing, please find a technical friend to help you.

After the installation is complete, you can choose three different classic menus to switch, or you can choose to replace the start button.

The utility has made a lot of changes in all its menus, but unless you are a very skilled technician, I will avoid worrying too much.

Taskbar revision

If you don't like the large search box to the right of the start button, you can turn it into a search icon, or right-click a blank part of the taskbar to open the menu and make it disappear completely. Look at the top for the search option, which has a submenu that displays three options: hide, Show search Icon, or Show search Box.

If it is not necessary to use the speech recognition tool "Cortana", you can remove the related icon-circle from the taskbar by removing the check mark before "Show Cortana Button" from the menu. .

To clear all unwanted icons on the taskbar, simply right-click them and select undock from taskbar.

Control Windows updates

Windows 10 is designed to update automatically when critical updates are released, which is a good thing from a security perspective, but it can be annoying to restart your computer automatically in the process.

You can avoid random restarts by setting the active time in the Settings menu of windows 10. Under updates and Security, the option to change activity time can be up to 18 hours.

Windows 10 should be the latest Windows version of Microsoft, so I recommend that you eventually adapt to its appearance to some extent.
