Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – Start Menu vs Start Screen & Continuum
If you’re reading you for whatever reason decided that upgrading to Windows 8, Microsoft’s current operating system, wasn’t what you wanted to do. Maybe you were comfortable with the features Windows 7 offered. Perhaps you were very attached to an app that was included in Windows 7? Whatever the reason, you’re now looking at taking a major leap.
Ironically, Windows 7 users who upgrade to Windows 10 are in for less of a big shock than they think. You may have heard of Windows 8’s Start Screen. In Windows 8 everyone was forced to interact with the Start Screen, which completely takes over your entire display. Windows 10 users can expect a Start Screen that matches what’s available in Windows 7. It may look different but the idea is the same. To the right of recently used files and folders is an area reserved for the Live Tiles of apps download from the Windows Store.

I guess a main reason why I did not like the look of Win 8 with all those ugly tiles--I keep a clean desktop, I am not one of those folks who have 300 icons on the desktop. When I have no programs (what they call apps now) running, there are exactly 0 icons on my desktop. I can click the Start button if I want to start a program. I'm sure some people like a cluttered desktop, with icons or tiles, I'm just not one of them.
