With a few tweaks to elements like wallpaper, color scheme, and default browser, you’ll be back to a Windows 7 look and feel in no time. The good news is that Windows 10 is highly customizable, so you can engineer its design to look nearly the same as Windows 7. If you’re struggling to feel comfortable with Windows 10, you’re certainly not alone.
