    Do you miss the good old Start menu when you upgraded to Windows 8/8.1?

    I actually got used to not having it, in all honesty.

    I went as far as installing an addon for the start menu. When Windows 10 put it back I was ecstatic.

    You should look at Windows 8.1 Update 1, it has integrated Metro to desktop (as you can see taskbar in Metro by moving your mouse cursor to bottom of screen, title bar in Metro apps similar to desktop apps, power button next to user account name in Start screen and Metro apps can be pinned to taskbar to make it familiar with Windows 95 to 7 users)

    There are also apps you can install for Windows 8 that will bring the classic Start menu back.

    Exactly. So even if MS removed the Start menu there are always ways to get it back.
