Windows 10 is an upgrade to all the past Windows operating systems, and it features a snappy, new look. But there will always be people who want to be different. 

Tech Spot reports that Windows 10 will receive a snappy new look yet again from Stardock, which had done a lot for people who want more flavor from their Windows OS. Start10 is the latest from the software development company, and it's a design that would redefine the way Windows 10's Start menu looks. It also brings back the look of the standard Windows 7 Start menu. 

Start10 can also be used to simplify the Start menu. People who get easily confused with the Live tiles can completely remove them with this upgrade, and re-organize them into folder-style applications, quick shortcuts, and the like. 

This article from Stardock, meanwhile, chronicles the early start of the customized Start menu. 

It was sometime during February that Stardock announced their latest solutions for Windows 10 users. The beta availability of the software was confirmed to be true, as can be seen in an earlier Tech Report article. They've also proven that the Windows 10 removal of Live tiles mirrors that of the Start8 that they did with Windows 8 and its Live tiles.

Stardock envisions a vital Start10, wherein the software, according to the article, proves indispensable to consumers as much as Start8 had been with other users.  

Start10 is the first of many planned Stardock appliations for Windows 10, namely the Object Desktop library. Stardock has always provided solutions to people who are confused with some Windows objects, and as such, they are in the business of developing solutions to support Windows applications. 

Start10 was released just in time for the release of Windows 10 late last month. It is available for $4.99.
