[GCARC] Windows 11 Start Menu

You can run Classic Shell http://www.classicshell.net/ which will give you a
Windows 7 Start menu.    I have used it for years with no issues.

All

 

I've been running Windows 11 on 2 'non-compliant' PC's with  only a few
minor issues  that were easily reconciled. I run N1MM, SDRUNO, and stream
Cable simultaneously  using 2 monitors in 24 GB memory and have had no
problems thus far.

 

I and a lot of other people do not like the W11 Start Menu.

 

Startdock  www.startdock.com  <http://www.startdock.com%20> offers a nice
replacement for the start menu that is very configurable. There is a 30 day
trial and you can buy a license for $10.00 for 5 pc's. Apparently, it must
be renewed every year, but I'm ok with that.

 

BTW - If you are using Windows 10 and want to upgrade to W11,  there is a
hack to install W11 on non-compliant machines.

You can start here.

Clone your system drive and install W11 over the cloned drive  and get
acquainted.\
