How to enable "Windows Classic Theme" on Win10?

I have a Win10 laptop. In the past I had Win7 PC with theme called "Windows Classic".

But now in my new laptop I can't find this option.

What should I do? I really want to use that theme. It was clean, simple, easy on the eye and much better than the new Win10 flat theme.

I'm sorry to say but the new theme it just boring, ugly, no 3D no 2D, just blahhh..

Please tell me how to install back the classic theme? without 3rd party software!

Can someone just send me the ZIP file with the classic theme in it to install on Win10?

Win10 new theme is ugly! I HATE it!

Hello,

This is not possible natively with Windows 10. You can opt for third-party tools offering such customization. However, with Windows 10, go to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Performance Settings and select "Adjust for best performance." This will turn off all fancy display options.

Regards.

Hi AlonX10,

I'm Roshan V S, Independent advisor and a Windows user like you.
I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and we are happy to help you.

Actually windows 10 doesn't included any of their classic themes along with them. Approaching third party software will solve your concern.
Or you can customize windows 10 to a point where it will look like classic theme.
You can follow the instructions from this page and picking a high contrast theme along with it will make a good old classic theme.
