First, you simply run each of the many connected apps and sign in separately; this would let you utilize the apps, but won’t sync settings from other PCs, through SkyDrive, to this PC. Or, you could connect your Microsoft account to your domain account, which has the added benefit of adding the PC-to-PC sync capability.

 +
 +it's not that tough to master Windows 8. In this cheat sheet I'll show you how to get the most out of the new Start screen and its apps, the Desktop, the new Charms bar, Internet Explorer 10 and plenty more.

 +====== How to make Windows 8 look like Windows 7 ======
 +
 +
 +http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/software-and-web-apps/how-to-make-windows-8-look-like-windows-7-50009546/
 +
 +
 +In this how-to guide, I'll reveal how to water down or ignore some of Windows 8's more controversial features and restore functionality you thought had gone forever.
 +
 +
 +====== Get Start Menu Back ======
 +
 +From: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33642_7-57496506-292/how-to-get-the-start-menu-back-in-windows-8/
 +
 +    Several third-party utilities can serve as Start menu replacements for Windows 8 users who aren't as keen 
 +    on the new Start screen.
 +
 +From: http://www.maximumpc.com/best_windows_8_start_menu_2014?page=0,1
 + 
 +    Perform a simple search for “Windows 8 Start Menu” and you’ll find a smorgasbord of apps with one purpose 
 +    in mind: bringing back the button at any cost.
 +==== ClassicShell ====
 +
 +
 +From: http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/
 +
 +
 +    Classic Shell is a collection of features that were available in older versions of Windows but were 
 +    later removed. It has a customizable Start menu and Start button for Windows 7 and Windows 8, it adds 
 +    a toolbar for Windows Explorer and supports a variety of smaller features.
 +
 +==== Start Menu Reviver 2.0 ====
 +
 +From: http://www.reviversoft.com/start-menu-reviver/
 +
 +    Start Menu Reviver is the only Start menu that truly combines the familiar navigation structure of previous 
 +    Start menus with the unique tile design of Micorsoft's new modern Windows direction.
 +==== StartMenu8 ====
 +
 +
 +From: http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.php
 +
 +    StartMenu8 is specially designed for Windows 8. It offers a perfect solution for users who work with Windows Start 
 +    Menu all the time and are not accustomed to the new Metro start screen in Windows 8. This smart tool brings back 
 +    both the start button and Windows Start Menu, and offers the option to skip Metro start page, allowing users who 
 +    only work on desktop to boot to Windows 8 desktop directly.
 +
 +==== New Taskbar ====
 +
 +From: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/3-ways-to-tweak-windows-8-to-look-more-like-windows-7/
 +
 +    Additionally, users who want a very close approximation to a Start menu – unused apps and all – can create it. 
 +    Right-click on the taskbar, go to Taskbars in the context menu, then click New Taskbar. When an open folder 
 +    window pops up, type the following:
 +
 +    %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
