One of the main and notable appearances is the centered and icon-filled taskbar. By default, the Task icons are placed at the center and if you want to can move the taskbar icons to the left, like Windows 10. And you can pin any program or app to the taskbar and by default, the Windows Start menu, Search, Widgets, and File Manager are pinned to the Taskbar. You can remove any icons from the taskbar by right-clicking on it and choosing unpin from the taskbar. In Windows 10 you can move the taskbar to the top, left, and right using windows settings.
