| Until now, all update versions are compatible with Classic Shell, only some "minor" annoyances caused by Microsoft, which hides or removes things where they've always been. |

| I can say that I'm both excited and disappointed with Win 10. With the latest update, I can see the performance of my GPU, starting from FCU they've added this feature, but at that time they said you'll need a new graphics card, now I can see everything even with my old GPU. :cool: On the other side... |

I'm a Win 7 Pro user! 
...but I also have another disk with Win 10 Pro installed.
Although I don't like Win 10, but I've to keep myself updated, otherwise, how can I criticize the latest updates?   |

I'm on the same boat, with the latest update.
...and for what I found, there are no more games in the "Games" folder!
With the exception of games, the rest seems to work well.
Now I can also keep an eye on the GPU performance. |

I'm asking, just because my intention is to eventually create the start menu I'm thinking of building, but, hoping Ivo could forgive me, I'm not comfortable with Resource Hacker and the way to build skins for Classic Shell. |

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to play with your creation for a while, but I'll keep an eye on its development.
I don't remember if I've already asked you before, does it "only" changes the style of the start menu, or it's possible to modify the shape/position of the elements? |
