Best ways to get windows 11 to look (and the interface to function efficiently) like Windows 10?

[SapphiraTriX298]

So I have just started using windows 11 for the first time while testing some new notebooks, and overall I prefer the layout and efficiency of Windows 10 (with 7 style built-in implementations) over 11.

11 seems to look prettier but having to make extra clicks or typing to get to things

 

Couple things I am looking for

 

- Traditional start menu

- Quick launch bar

- Ability to not-combine labels for faster switching and visible title content of each active tab in each browser

- Small icon on task bar to shrink overall size of task bar

- Traditional right-click menu without icons and all the options, rather

- This PC (cannot be locked to the task bar?) so I have to click folder, then click this PC in order to jump to that menu.

- Rich text documents?

 

I haven't seen many complaints about these, so maybe I just don't know how to access them, or I am one of the last hold outs to use them.

I have seen a couple of applications to mimic the function, but is this all unavailable in Windows 11?

Again I have not used 11 enough to rate it overall, but it seems like it is supposed to look more like Mac OS, looses some functionality.

i also tried windows 11 for 2 days..

os seemed like slower but on games i found it more smooth.

i also hate to unzip with 7zip i need to click more. the copy paste was a bit confusing..

i could not fins powershell and powershell ise as in win 10 when you click the windows icon.

now am back at win 10.. but i think we both have the same toughts on windows 11.. i see someone mentioned to get start is back.. so i might give it a try later. am on unsuppoerted CPU.

@MyPC8MyBrain not everyone benches and need the 1 MHz more performance. The question is how do I get a windows 7 experience out of windows 11. The easiest way is startisback two clicks and it converts most major and some minor windows settings to windows 7 look and functionality. People don't want to spend hours and hours tweaking. People have jobs. Businesses and lives.
