I finally configured Classic Start for Windows 10 however even though I've chosen the Windows 7 start option its not really appearing like that. Is it possible to get Windows 10's Start menu to look like the authentic Windows 7 menu with Classic Start Menu?

Thanks

Im not exactly sure what you mean, but classic shell doesnt modify windows 10's menu, it replaces it (with something completely re-coded)
Are you saying that clicking the start button doesnt yield something similar to this screenshot?

Right click the button and choose Settings. Check "Show all settings" at the top and go to Controls tab. Set "Left Click Opens" to "Classic Start Menu" and "Windows Key Opens" also to "Classic Start Menu."

You just need to pick a different skin. Go to the Skins tab and select "Windows 8" or "Windows Aero".

Looks the same to me. Can you elaborate on what you think is the problem?

Maybe you have "Open automatically" checked for "All Programs style" on the Main Menu tab in Start Menu settings.
