How to replace Start Screen with Start Menu in Windows 8 & 8.1?

What's the Problem?

Since the launch of Windows 8 in 2012 and Windows 8.1 in 2013, it has not been able to attract people and replace its predecessor Windows 7 due to several reasons. One of the major reason behind the failure of Windows 8 and 8.1 to gain market share is the start screen. When Windows first switched to Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Windows 95, it consisted of a start menu at the left bottom corner of the screen to browse different programs and from Windows 95 till Windows 7, all the version of windows retained the start menu feature. But in Windows 8 and 8.1, this start menu feature was replaced by Start Screen Feature. Start Screen also helped to navigate to the apps and programs but it was not much user friendly (especially for PC users with no touch screen) as compared to the Start Menu along with messy Apps View and this was one of the major reasons why Windows 8 and 8.1 were hated.

Smartphones can be used to play games, surf the internet, and off course calling and messaging. But the major problem is that the task done or the apps running on smartphones are battery hungry and as a result battery gets drained quickly at faster rate and has to be charged for further usage. On average every smartphone has to be charged once a day!!!  As the smartphones takes one to two hours to charge completely, so when the users put their phones on charging and get busy in other works so they may forget about their phones which were at charging, and this often happens.
