Windows 7 Reloaded Edition theme revives nostalgia in the age of Windows 11

Windows 11 has a modern design. It’s slick, centered, and a majorly revamped version of the classic Windows look. But not everyone loves the change. There might be some who still miss the simplicity of Windows 7—the left-aligned taskbar, clean menus, and that familiar feel. That’s where Windows 7 Reloaded Edition comes in.

Switch to classic look with the Windows 7 Reloaded Edition, that too on Windows 11

A YouTube channel named Link Vegas has uploaded a detailed video about the same, showing the Windows 7-inspired start menu. The theme doesn’t just revive a look. You can check the video at the end, but first, let’s talk about what’s in there.

Before you ask, Windows 7 Reloaded Edition is a free custom theme built for Windows 11. The theme brings back the nostalgic desktop vibe that you may still love, that too without any tweaks and tricks.

You can simply apply the theme, and you’ll feel like stepping back into 2009—in a good way. You get the classic layout, the old-school feel. Even the system icons and start menu look like they used to.

Some might argue that what else does it have than the wallpaper and icons in the start menu, but those who love Windows 7 might also like the Reloaded Edition.
