Okay, I installed Classic Shell and I now have a Win7 style "start button".
The problem is I still can't get rid of the search box in the lower left corner. Any ideas?
Right click and find cortana context menu, u can change it to a icon or off I think...
Found it.
Right click in the "search box">highlight "search">click "hide". Click "show search box" to undo.
Or click "show search icon" to show icon next to start button.
After all this time and all of the beta testing I have done, you would think I would know how to "explore" new things.
IMHO, I have come to the conclusion Win10 is way better than Win8.1. All you have to do is get it set up the way you want it.
