The most striking visual difference between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is the latter’s centered taskbar icons. Although you can’t bring Windows 11’s central Start menu to Windows 10, you can adjust the location of the taskbar’s icons and mimic Microsoft’s newer design. Here’s how.

Windows 11’s refreshed design (first leaked ahead of its announcement in June 2021) shares some similarities to Windows 10X—namely, the centered taskbar. Microsoft might have axed its dual-screened operating system, but that doesn’t mean that its design language can’t survive on your PC.

Select "Links."

Right-click on the taskbar for a third time and make sure that “Show Text” and “Show title” are both checked.

You should now see “Links” on the right side of the taskbar, with two vertical lines to the left of it.

Changing the location of “Links” will also force your pinned icons to move to the right side of the taskbar. Use the two vertical lines next to your icons to click and drag them to the center of your taskbar. They won’t snap to the center, so you’ll have to eyeball them.

Next, right-click on the taskbar and deselect “Show Text” and “Show title.”
