windows 8.1 embedded Windows 9 Start Menu

[Cosmic Railgun]

Does anyone know what Linus did to get the classic start menu into Windows 8.1 embedded in this video? Is it a program he installed? Or is there a setting somewhere in the OS?

Possibly Classic Shell??

Could be, I'm just wondering if it is a setting, cause I like to keep my work PC pretty clean of background programs (4GB of ram)

At 3:42 in the video it is clear that it is classic shell.

That's the modded windows 10 though

No such option exists in Windows 8 and higher to restore the Windows 7 or earlier Start Menu.

Yes I know it doesn't exit in any other version of windows, that's why I'm looking into 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro, which has a substantial amount of tweaks compared to windows 8.1

From what I can tell, that option doesn't exist in 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro either.   I looked at "Windows 9" builds after Linus' video and they all seem to use "Start Is Back" or "Classic Shell" to achieve that sweet Start Menu. The explanation appears to be that there isn't a Classic Start Menu option in any version of 8 and higher.

 

Here's the LTT Official build guide. They used 10, of course.

 

Edit: For clarification!
