OK, so last night I downloaded windows 10, I have not installed it
yet. Is there anything I should know or do before hitting the
install button. I've already downloaded Open Shell, I'm just not
sure what to expect, when I click the button. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt">I second Dan Glass' comment. BEFORE installing
Windows 10 download to
the desktop the free add-on "Windows Classicshell" by
searching those
keywords. Get the latest version you can find. I say
download before
because I found it very difficult to navigate in Windows
10 to the point I had
trouble even opening a browser window. I said download
to the desktop so you
can actually find it under Windows 10.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

classic shell install
file you downloaded. Once it's installed you can set
classic shell to run just
like any version back to Windows XP. I think the
simplest way is to open
classic shell and select the "Start Menu" Tab. You can
customize it a
lot but it's not necessary to do so. Just set it back
to the version you liked
and it's business as usual.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
