It amazes me that folks who hated Windows 8 like Windows 10, citing the latter looks less like a tablet OS.
The new Windows 10 Start Menu with Live Tiles IS the Start Screen minimized.
I used Windows 8 as a desktop OS, and with Classic Shell, I have concealed the Start Screen and most Metro stuff, plus I have a Start Menu.
You can also use the Microsoft online Catalog to update Windows 8 with security updates from Server 2012. I've been doing this for six years now.
