This is preity easy to get the classic start menu in windows 8.
To do so you have to Install ViStart.
Well,ViStart is making the rounds as a third-party Start button replacement. It was originally designed to add a Windows 7-style Start button to Windows XP, so it’s basically a re-implementation of the Windows 7 Start button. And it works on Windows 8.
ViStart wants to install other software when you install it – click the Decline button.
After it’s installed, you’ll see the Windows 7-style Start orb back at the left side of your taskbar.
Click it and you’ll see the familiar Start menu. Almost everything works as you’d expect, although I couldn’t find a way to pin apps to the Start menu. It still shows your most frequently used apps.
Right-click the ViStart system tray icon and select Options if you want to configure it.
You’ll find options for changing the default Web browser, email client and other program settings.
One bonus is that ViStart takes over your Windows key. Pressing the Windows key opens the ViStart Start menu, not the Metro-style Start screen.
You can still open the Start screen by moving your cursor to the very bottom-left corner of the screen, or from the Charms menu that appears when you hover your cursor over either the upper or lower-right corners of your screen.
That's it.
Download ViStart from here.
