The main difference is that start10 cost money, and classic shell is 100% free
There are some features only available on classic shell, and others only available on start10 but for the most part they are similar

No this feature isnt part of classic shell at all, what I showed you was how to use your old windows 10 start menu (it isnt gone, it just uses a different hotkey now)

That chart shows the full list of features that all the different start menus have, and lack. As you can see no start menu has every feature, so compromises must be made.. :P

Ill do what I can to answer any questions you post; however if you want considerable customizations, It might be easier to grant me remote access with https://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx so i can make the changes myself. (By controlling your pc)

Just the color, or the look also?

BEBEBE Is the gray color from the menu
However it will only be on the right side of the menu unless you change the skin

If you want the full look, I can add instructions for that also, but it gets a little complicated.

Apparently not;
hit ctrl+J in your browser
This should open a window with your downloads. (and probably the location)

What browser are you using? There should be an option open downloads folder (after you hit the ctrl+J hotkey in your browser) that will bring you to the right folder.
