Start Menu (Remove Tiles)

Hey all,

I beta tested Windows 10 several months back, previous to the version I tested, if you removed all the pined tiles from the start menu, it would look more like the conventional start menu. However in the few version I tested, even if you unpinned all the tiles, the start menu was still 1/2 the screen, the tile area was just blank..

Did Microsoft fix this? or are they forcing the tile thing down the throats of the users?

I have a free upgrade from Windows 7, but If they didn't go back to allowing you to remove tiles from the start menu and get more of a traditional start menu, I'm sticking with Windows 7..

Also, does anyone know if I did upgrade to Windows 10, can you go back to windows 7, either by Uninstalling the upgrade and/or be reinstalling Windows 7? or does it convert and remove your Windows 7 license key there by deleting your ability to go back to Windows 7?

Thanks!

Have you tried it out??

Not yet, (If I had, I'm not sure why I would have posted the question?). I don't want to do the upgrade and not be able to go back if I hate it!

Windows 8 Sucked, until I installed an aftermarket Start menu that made it basically Windows 7...

I had some other computer hardware issues and never installed the final RC beta's of Windows 10, so I didn't get to see if they fixed the Start Menu..

Yes you can drag the menu to conventional size and loose the whole tile thing, and also yes you can roll back.

. . .here is another one of those force it down your throat guys. . .please give it try and see if like it or not, then. . .

Microsoft is famous for forcing things down your throat... Windows 8 is a perfect example of how they tried to force the tiles down the throats of consumers... It blew up in their face, which is why they are having to GIVE windows 10 away..

Not trying to bash Microsoft, I've been a Windows person since windows 3.1. But In recent years Microsoft has basically said "This is how it's going to be weather you like it or not".. For no reason other than just because they want to...

I was on the Windows ME beta team from the beginning, it was NEVER RTM ready, but they launched it anyway, blew up in their face.

So yes, I'm skeptical.

I just moved all of my Tiles to the 1st Row - No, it hasn't been fixed, the Start Menu is still huge.

DING!

If you open the big fat start menu, and place your Mouse just at the edge until the mouse shows "<-->", drag it back toward the left side of the screen and it resizes!
