When you turn your PC on, that menu will appear. In that menu, there is a desktop block, which you can click to view your desktop. To return to your start menu, you can simply push the windows button on your keyboard, or scroll to the far left bottom corner, and the menu will appear. Thanks, Gerrit Also, between the two, I have seen a noticeable boot and shutdown difference with Windows 8.

For that price of $40 it may be worth the upgrade, the fast bootup is also a plus for me, but the missing start button and the ugly UI isn't one of my likes

Yes there is no Start button, but you can get to all your programs in the bottom-left side (Where the start button used to be) and get back to the home screen
