What is the difference between the Win10 and Win7 start menu comparisons?

  
Microsoft has released a preview version of Windows 10, which is available to all users. The main change in Windows 10 is that the Start menu is back, even if it has changed. Obviously, Microsoft doesn't give up on Windows 8, so pin the Metro UI and Windows 7 start menus together. We are curious as to whether users really like this style and take a look at the short experience.
Is it useful to combine the Metro UI start menu?

When you click on the Windows 10 Start menu, you won't be back to the Metro Start screen like Windows 8/8.1, but a start menu that really stays on the traditional desktop. However, a large number of Metro UI shortcuts are integrated on the right side, and even if you resize them to a minimum, they will take up a portion of the screen space. So, is this effect more efficient than the Windows 7 Start menu? The answer is: No.

The real classic Windows Start menu actually has multi-level effects, you can easily enter the deep directory through the small arrow on the right side and choose what you want. In addition, the Windows 7 Start menu also contains a variety of commonly used directories such as user folders, devices, printers, and my computer, and supports arbitrary customization. Although Windows 10 also has some of the same directories, it simplifies functionality, such as you can't even add a new folder shortcut to the Start menu.
Search function and other

The search bar in the start menu is also back in Windows 10, you can search local and Internet content, and Windows 7 only supports local search, which is an evolution that users will like. At the place.
In addition, most of the applications in the secondary directory of the Windows 10 Start menu are Metro applications (including content that users have not downloaded after logging into Microsoft accounts), but you can delete them. In addition, the user can also restart, log off or shut down in the Windows 10 through the power button of the start menu without having to go back to the Metro main screen.
Summary
In general, Windows 10 does have some changes, which appropriately weakens the touch screen interface closer to traditional desktop users. But Microsoft still won't bring you a system as simple as Windows 7, because it must take into account the overall mobile strategy. Of course, Windows 10 is currently only in the first preview stage, and there may be more human changes in the future official launch, which is what we are looking forward to.
