Mr. Kimiko Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 http://www.startmenux.com/index.html If you want the iconic start menu that Windows 8 no longer have. use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he is refering to is completely zeroing ur hardrive clean. Then install ur os, not using factory discs or image, and then installling your programs.
