Unlike Windows 8.1 where the start menu was only have restore – after being missing entirely from Windows 8, Windows 10 puts a hybrid start menu where you have your programs listed – like in Windows 7, and also small tiles (ala Windows 8). However you can easily remove the tiles leaving only a Windows 7 style start menu – only better. In Windows 10 you can resize the start menu – even to full screen size if you want.<\/p>\n

I really, really like Windows 10 and I think you will too.<\/p>\n So now it’s time to show you the official Windows 10 video – so you can learn all about Windows 10 – overly enthusiastic rhetoric aside.<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/Wwc5jKc-EgE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn More About Windows 10 OK we’re going to show you a video on Windows 10 made by the operating system division of Microsoft. While the video is obviously glaringly glowing of Windows 10, it’s also pretty much accurate. Windows 10 can be customized easily to look very much like Windows 7 – start menu included.
