Although on Paint and Wordpad you can bring the Windows 7 Ribbon by replacing UIRibbon.dll, UIRibbonRes.dll in System32 and UIRibbon.dll.mui in en-us within System32, it still lacks most ribbon icons. I think this is owing to how MS has changed the correspondences, as I once compared on Resourcehacker both sets of UIRibbon files (that is, from Windows 7 and 10) and the numbers (resources) are different, they do not match both versions. This leaded me to think that one needs to go further and bring Paint and Wordpad from Windows 7 (after having replaced the UIRibbon files with Windows 7 ones needless to say), so these programs obviously can fully use the Windows 7 UIRibbon files that replaced the Windows 10 counterpart. And indeed it worked, I downloaded Windows 7 Paint (But I needed to extract Wordpad from a Windows 7 Installation) with their corresponding mui files. It works flawlessly but it is something quite obvious: They are made to work with their corresponding set of UIRibbon files. It worked so well I did not just leave Windows 7 Paint and Wordpad on any folder, I replaced the actual Windows 10 versions (which of course I backed up) with them. I replaced mspaint in system32 and its corresponding .mui file in en-us. I replaced Wordpad in C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories and obviously its .mui file in en-US. Attachments:

I have replaced these before, and they work, but nowadays Paint and Wordpad either crash or refuse to open.

I have replaced these before, and they work, but nowadays Paint and Wordpad either crash or refuse to open. Fun fact, replacing UIRibbon.dll, UIRibbonRes.dll.mui inside System32 and UIRibbon.dll.mui inside the en-US folder with the Windows 8 Beta version will work. Which in fact Paint and WordPad works fine on my end without it crashing or refusing to open.

Windows 10 Updates break any modifications, as they replace most system files. You must block updates. I use "Windows Update Blocker 1.8" set on "Disable Updates" and "Protect Service Settings" turned on. To use the x86 version of Wordpad you must also replace those files in the Syswow64 folder.
