Question on Windows 8 start button

Hi,
I have a new Toshiba laptop with Windows 8.1. I’m not liking it so far. Perhaps if I had a start button it would help me navigate better. Can anyone recommend a start button for me please?
Thanks.

Thanks.Start8. Buy or use but you should seriously buy it since $5 is not much and it is windows fault not theirs plus if you have start8 you can skip the whole metro interface and its an easy to use program.

Start8 or get windows 7
Windows 8 isn’t really made for non-touchscreen computers.
Answer #3
Yep, Windows 8 crap on normal PCs!

Classic Shell (I think 402 is the latest version) makes a perfect start button for Windows 8/8.1 … It’s freeware and very customizable. I’ve been using it on 8.1 for a few months now and I’m very content with it.
Windows 8.1 is also brilliant on a PC and contrary to what has been said, it isn’t just for touchscreen computers. I have mine booting into the desktop at startup and the touchscreen/apps content never shows up on my computer. It’s also faster than windows 7 and I use it on a motherboard that doesn’t even support 64 bit Windows (i.e. it’s very old)
Answer #5
Yeah, I also recommend Classic Shell
Answer #6
I like StartIsBack for Windows 8, though you would need StartIsBack+ fow Windows 8.1, and I have never tried it. Start8 would be my second choice.
Answer #7
Not sure if you have made your mind up yet OP – but I just installed classic shell on my w8 laptop and its perfect – just fyi!
Answer #8
Hi
Thank you all for your suggestions. As of now, I decided to try Start 8. Have a 30 day trial. If I don’t like it, I will try Classic Shell.
