Here is a program that will give you the look and start button back, so you don't have to deal with that tile crap.

Lipps,
This one is interesting. I have used a few times foe clients.
It does cost a few bucks but has some nice features.

I have used that one.  It puts a few more toys on that still gives a slight Win8 feel.  

I am getting my hands on Windows 10 next week and going to give it a workout.

Just bought a new desktop today and Classic Shell came with it.   Still want to learn this version of Windows, as I am coming off of XP

That's interesting, did you purchase it off the shelf ?  One of the big box stores ?

They must of put it on then.  That's not a program that would come on the computer out of the box.  Maybe it should, many more people would like Windows 8.

I bought an ASUS, I think they put it on there.    I'm learning 8.1...   I don't see what the big fuss about it is.

It's a good deal about the lack of a start button.
