So, yeah, i want to know if there's any ideas of how can i make my Windows 10 look more like Windows 8.1, i did some stuff like using the Aero Lite theme from Winaero tweaker and another tweak that deactivates action center and uses the old Metro Network menu   |

Not sure what being Tsundere has to do with this... but oh well.
I believe there *was* a way to use the start screen on 10? But I think that was removed very early on. As for looks Windows 8.x recycles a LOT of Windows 7 icons so you could possibly get away with using a Windows 7 icon theme. Sounds you can directly rip from 8.x and use with 10. I'd also probably remove stuff that was present in 10 but not in 8.1, provided there are things you don't use. Seeing as how your resolution is 1366x768 which I know is common on many low-end machines... I'd probably go for some debloating. But that's just my idea that's apparently somewhat off-topic. However it can make sense considering 8.x was rather lightweight.

However it can make sense considering 8.x was rather lightweight. kinda hard to explain, i hated windows 8.1 when i used it as my main os on the machine, but when i returned to windows 10 i started to miss the aestethic of windows 8.1, i don't wanna switch back to 8.1 since some drivers like OpenGL and vcruntime didn't worked properly on the machine |

idk if you've heard of or tried it but omino for rainmeter is pretty good at replicating metro ui, it would take a bit of experimenting to fully recreate the start screen, but it's still pretty useful for tiles and widgets. I think there was also newgen which recreated the start screen for older windows, but I don't think it's been updated in over a decade. Firefox can also be skinned to look like metro IE |
