Question about Windows 11

Question

I have been using Windows 10 Pro ever since it came out and I really don't want to update to 11. What I don't want to give up is the way I have the Start page set up so is there any way to make 11 work like this:

Answer 1

Windows 11 does not include a built-in option to make the Start menu look and behave like the classic Windows 10/Windows 7 style shown in the screenshot.

Only limited Start customization is available under Settings → Personalization → Start (for example, showing more pins or recommendations), but this does not recreate the classic layout with the left-hand app list and right-hand tiles.

To get a Start menu that closely resembles the classic style, a third-party utility such as Open-Shell is required. These tools replace or augment the Windows 11 Start menu and can be configured to mimic older Windows Start layouts.

Answer 2

Hi,

The only way you might be able to get

the Start Menu to look like that on Windows

11 might be to use a 3rd party program.

Sorry it can't be done.
