How can I Disable the Windows 8 layout?

[Abbas2013]

I recently purchased a Sony vaio S and it has come with Windows 8. I have been told that I can disable the Windows 8 layout, So i can use the standard Windows 7 (start menu etc etc ) layout.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks.

Hi Abbas2013 and welcome.

You can bypass the Metro Interface and restore the Start menu by choosing your preferences from the following tutorial: -
