Make Windows 11 look like Windows 7
To make Windows 11 look like Windows 7, you can follow these steps:
Install a third-party Start menu and taskbar replacement. There are a few different options available, such as StartAllBack and Classic Shell. These programs will allow you to restore the classic Windows 7 Start menu and taskbar look and feel.
Change the taskbar alignment. By default, the taskbar in Windows 11 is centered. To move it to the left, like it was in Windows 7, follow these steps:
Open the Settings app.
Click on Personalization.
Click on Taskbar.
Under Taskbar behaviors, select Left from the Taskbar alignment dropdown menu.
Apply a Windows 7 theme. There are a number of Windows 7 themes available for download online. Once you have downloaded a theme, follow these steps to apply it:
Right-click on the desktop and select Personalize.
Click on Themes.
Click on Browse and navigate to the folder where you saved the theme file.
Double-click on the theme file to apply it.
Change the window borders and other visual elements. You can use a program like WindowBlinds to change the window borders, title bars, and other visual elements in Windows 11 to match the Windows 7 look.
Here are some additional tips for making Windows 11 look more like Windows 7:
Disable the transparency effects in Windows 11.
Change the font size and style to match the Windows 7 defaults.
Move the taskbar icons to the left side of the taskbar.
Disable the new Start menu animations.
Hide the Cortana search bar.
Restore the classic Windows 7 icons.
Once you have made all of these changes, your Windows 11 system should look and feel very similar to Windows 7.
