If you are planning to upgrade to Windows 10 you might want to uninstall 3rd-party start menus
If you are one of the millions of Windows 8.1 users who opted to install Classic Shell (or another start menu ) for Windows 8.1, after you upgrade to Windows 10, you may want to uninstall any 3rd-part start menus as Windows 10 has a full-featured start menu of its own, arguably better than any Windows version before it. Uninstalling Classic Shell (or other 3d-part start menu) will then activate the Windows 10 start menu. You may need to reboot first after uninstalling some of the 3rd-party start menus that were available for Windows 8x.
To remove Classic Shell, you can just use Control Panel/Programs . If you have one of the others you may want to use Revo Uninstaller (free) or Geek Uninstaller (free version) – be careful when you download from either one of those sites. Make sure you have the free versions.
Just a helpful hit from your old Uncle TC and Auntie EB
Didn’t read your post until now and have already installed Windows 10 on one of my computers – had no problems and the install went great. Things appear to be working the way they should. I have the new start menu and it looks just like all the pictures we see. I did have Classic Shell installed – apparently it made no difference? Is there something else I should do now?
Thanks to TC and Darcy for two good sessions. TC did my Pre installation checkup and Darcy did the post. Both just flew through and checked everything. And since I lost my Windows Mail when I upgraded Darcy restored it. Don’t know what I would do without you guys. You both are fantastic.
Thanks a million times. Mary
