That means that they won’t take up your entire monitor anymore (unless you really want them to). Microsoft is keeping the Live Tiles it introduced in Windows 8, but it’s put them inside the Start menu. Instead of booting you a completely different screen, the Start menu lives in the lower-lefthand corner - just like it did in Windows 7. Instead, it’s completely redesigned it in a way that combines the best aspects of the last two versions of Windows.
But Microsoft hasn’t simply just reinstated the old version from Windows 7. It’s probably the biggest change, aside from the dark theme, that you’ll notice after Windows 8. It feels slightly odd to celebrate its return, as it should never have gone away.
If you’re upgrading to Windows 10 on a desktop or laptop PC, then prepare to be delightfully surprised: the Start menu you know and love is back.
