14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 7 officially reached the end of support in January this year, so users are now recommended to upgrade to Windows 10 to eliminate the risks that come with unsupported software.
And while Microsoft only recommends Windows 10 as their next destination, many are reluctant to upgrade pretty much because of the modern experience that the new OS comes with.
And this includes not only the Microsoft Store and Cortana, but also the redesigned Start menu, which now features live tiles and everything.
Users who just want a familiar experience on Windows 10 need a simpler Start menu design that would obviously be based on the one available in Windows 7. And the concept that we have here imagines what the whole thing would look like.
The future of live tiles
Created by Twitter user @Futur3Sn0w, the concept keeps the live tiles, but on the other hand, uses a Start menu design that is clearly based on the one in Windows 7. The list of apps is something that users of the 2009 operating system will find very familiar, and so are the links for all programs and the power options.
As for the chances to see this happening, you’d better not hold your breath for it. Microsoft is all-in on its modern Start menu design, and if anything, the only major change that could go live at some point in the near time is the removal of the live tiles.
Rumors that made the headlines earlier this year suggested that Microsoft wanted to kill off the live tiles in the favor of a more static approach, similar to what you can find right now in Windows 10X. But for now, the Start menu live tiles are here to stay, and the Windows 7 theme remains just a dream that will probably never come true.
