  • Does anyone know anything about Classic Shell please?

    My husband had found details of a program called Classic Shell, with a new release 4.1 that claims to improve 8.1. It says that it improves the support and contains some stability fixes. It also say that it can do something that I am most interested in, which is .....gives you the look of Win 7 INCLUDING a start button.

    We are loathe to download it without knowing something about it. On the face of it though it sounds just what I am looking for. Any advice welcome please.

    Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole Chrissie. You would be better investing time and effort into learning how to use w8.1 rather than installing addons that will have their own pitfalls and which, despite the claims of the vendor, could have unforeseen compatibility issues with current and/or future windows updates/patches

        I use Classic Shell on Win8.1 and love it - can't stand the Win8 interface, and have had no problems whatsoever.
