How to make Windows 8 more like Windows 7?

Question

How do I get rid of the start screen on a new Windows 8 laptop and make it have a start menu. I also do not want apps. What changes can I make to make it as close to Windows 7 as possible?

Return to Windows 7. You should not torture yourself to ideas that you do not want to take, or they are not needed.

Very easily by installing StartMenu8

You get the start button back and Win 8 boots to desktop mode by default.
Order is restored again :)
