My take on the Start Menu (more like Windows 7)-concept image

The current state of the Windows 10 start menu, to me looks clunky and out of place. The best solution to me? Well the Windows 7 start menu is hard to beat, so I think the best idea is to take that and basically just plonk our Windows 10 icons into. Here's an image of what it could look like.

You could of course change the size of icons if you choose, but this time around it would be inside the Windows 7 start menu size, which looks much more appealing in my opinion and much more familiar to everyone who's fond of Windows 7. The search bar would now just be within the start menu and no longer on the task bar, which I kind of think looks a little strange.

You're now able to create folders in the 'all programs/all apps' part, just like Windows 7, the power button is nice and close to the start button, you can still expand start, and all is well.

I'd be much more comfortable with this design myself. What do you guys reckon?

I just thought about adding the links from Windows 7, to fill in the extra space.

Now you can access some of those places that seem to kinda be hidden under the right click menu of the start button: control panel, devices, programs and features, plus you could welcome back the handy shortcuts to some of your folders. Thoughts?

Yeah that is so much better. Microsoft please consider! Or at least make default theme or slim theme.
