Get Windows 8 Classic Desktop Back with Soluto

So you’re excited to upgrade to Windows 8, but are you ready to say goodbye to the classic Windows you've used for years?

If you’re already using Windows 8, you've probably noticed that the Windows 8 start menu is missing. Or, maybe you’re waiting to upgrade to Windows 8, but you’re already worried about how you’ll manage without the start button.

Windows’ Start button and start menu are familiar comforts to most PC users. However in Windows 8, the PC boots directly into the new Windows 8 Start screen and the start button and menu are no longer available.  Some people who are already using the Windows 8 preview have found these changes the hardest to get used to. That’s why Soluto is giving you the opportunity to bring back the start menu and start button. 

Although you can switch to the Classic Desktop from the Windows 8 Start screen once the PC finishes starting up, many want to go straight to the Classic mode every time so you can get the start menu and start button as soon as you boot your PC.  Simply log in to your Soluto account, go to your PC dashboard and click on the new Windows 8 section.  This will give you the ability to switch your PC start up from Windows 8 Start screen to Classic Desktop, all in 1 click. Changing to the Classic Desktop mode will allow you to bring back the Start button and Start menu, providing easy and familiar access to your frequently used apps and favorite functionality as soon as you start up.

  Now you can enjoy your new OS while still having the Windows features you know and love at hand.

    I agree, The start menu is outdated and cumbersome. The Start Search feature had pretty much replaced the start menu for me since Vista. Now the start screen takes advantage of the same start search feature, and you can get to anywhere on your computer by just typing a couple letters on the start screen, not just applications, but settings, control panel options, display settings etc.
