The last time people loved the Windows user interface was back when Windows Vista was launched. But it was plagued with problems that was a big turn off to many people. Then came the Windows 7 which was loved across the globe not only for the stability it provided but also for the way it looked. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 were a mess and why wouldn’t they be? Microsoft tried so hard to integrate the desktop interface with the touch interface of the OS. Windows 10 however fixed the whole user interface and it now automatically detects what type of system the user is using Windows 10 on and then adapts as per the system. This stands true for desktop as well as touch-based devices for Windows 10. But no matter how good Windows 10 looks, some people won’t upgrade to it just for the way it looks on the outside. There are several reasons why one would not want to upgrade to Windows 10 from older versions of Windows like Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.

Your PC might not be having the supporting hardware for Windows 10 You cannot stop the automatic updates normally Privacy concerns regarding a few settings on Windows 10 Or maybe because you don’t want to get out of the comfort zone that the current version of Windows you are using provides.

Want to keep your Windows 7 forever? It’s easy, here is how you can do it! But we must say, Windows 10 does have a good looking user interface. In this post I will tell you how you can apply skin packs on your old version of Windows to make it look similar to Windows 10. Let’s get started.

What are the best Windows 10 Skin Packs for Windows 7, 8, 8.1?

Not only does this make your version of Windows 7 or 8/8.1 look similar to Windows 10, but it also changes many aesthetics of the user interface that will force other people who are not aware of the skin pack to think that they are using Windows 10.

From icons to explorer style and even the start menu, everything looks different. You also get a sidebar that is designed on the lines of Modern UI and looks really good on this skin pack. You also get Windows 10 wallpapers, themes, icons that make this skin pack an amazing skin. Do not forget to uninstall other versions of skin packs before you install this one. If nothing happens after you applied your preferred theme, it means that you have to use uxtheme patcher. You will have to download it, and after the installation you’ll have to select the new theme from Personalization.

Currently these three are the only packs that we recommend to users as others are either too complex to install, or they just provide a mixture of Windows 10 plus old Windows UI which looks totally odd. We have to mention that these tools might cause issues with your current Windows installation. Some of these applications will modify some of your system files in order to change the look of your user interface, and that can in some instances cause issues. In order to avoid potential problems, we strongly encourage you to create a backup of your files, just to be on the safe side. In addition to file backup, it might be a good idea to create a System Restore point and use it t restore your system if anything goes wrong after trying one of these tools.
