Download "How to Make Windows 8 or 8.1 Look and Feel Like Windows 7"
This looks good to me. As I do, it recommends Start8. And it explains
why it finds it better than the other choices. |

Hi, Ken.
Did you intend to include a link? ;^} I've become comfy with Win8.1 as is, warts and all, but I'm sure many regulars here (and others) will want that URL. RC -- R. C.

Besides if you google how to make windows 8 look like windows 7 I'll bet you get the same information. (Besides, as a retired person, I could not truthfully fill out their application form if I wanted to! :-) ) Besides, looks like their navigation or server scripts are screwed up. I went to: http://whitepapershg.tradepub.com/fr...ecc06/prgm.cgi Then clicked on the "Detailed Description" link that took me to: http://whitepapershg.tradepub.com/fr...06/?p=w_tecc06 Clicked on the "Request Now" button which took me back to the first page. That first page doesn't have, for me, any other links to get their eGuide. They're using tracking links to LinkedIn that I block using the EasyPrivacy blacklist. I'm not going to unblock my tracking blocks so they can track me while I signup for a fluff account or dole out an e-mail (which would be an alias and never a true e-mail address to sites like this). Did you even read their so-called "privacy" policy? Look under the "Information Collection and Use". They tell you they're selling your e-mail address to spammers. When you create an account or give them an e-mail address, they will, gee, automatically opt you into their mailing lists. Yeah, no thanks. I could easily kill the alias that I give them but I'm not going to bother for duplicated information they harvested from online. |

This looks good to me. As I do, it recommends Start8. And it explains why it finds it better than the other choices. Since I'm currently in the process of getting a win 8.1 Lenova ultrabook/tablet to behave more or less sort of like a win 7 notebook in one mode, and a touch tablet in the other, this sort of thread is timely, although not really of much help. The ultrabook has a "4k" screen. This is the start of the difficulity, in that getting the text sizes and picture/video sizes to display in a readable and usable manner seems to be more complicated than it should be. The correct combination of system settings and app settings is involved. Sometimes they conflict, sometimes they don't. It's taken several days to load updates, from the BIOS level to too many win 8.1 updates, to applications and updates. And, I still don't have all the key apps loaded. As usual with such things, Lenovo information is skimpy, and I'm having to go through preloaded and "optional" apps to see what is useful, and what to ignore or uninstall. The first app to be uninstalled, naturally, was Macafee. Next was a trial version of office 2010, since it was not compatible with the office 2013 install process. Always something, I guess! |

And it explains why it finds it better than the other choices. The problem with the title "How to Make Windows 8 or 8.1 Look and Feel Like Windows 7" is that, as we have seen time and again, the response is "If I want something that looks and feels like Windows 7, I'll just stay with (or go back to) Windows 7." Something titled "How to Configure Windows 8 or 8.1 to Meet Your Needs and Wants", that never mentions Windows 7, would be a best seller or most read freebie. If the configurations end up looking or feeling like Win7, it's just happenstance rather than the goal. +1. (And I use StartIsBack http://www.startisback.com/, to add to the list :-) ) -- SC Tom |
