The Start Button Windows-10
When the predecessor to Windows 10 (Windows 8) was introduced there was a significant outcry due to the disappearance of the traditional Windows Start button. This was made worse by the removal of the Start menu too. However, the Start button was reinstated in Windows 8.1 and the Start menu has now also returned, in an enhanced format. This means that Windows 10 can be used in a similar way to traditional versions of Windows.
