The most striking visual difference between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is the latter\u2019s centered taskbar icons. Although you can\u2019t bring Windows 11\u2019s central Start menu to Windows 10, you can adjust the location of the taskbar\u2019s icons and mimic Microsoft\u2019s newer design. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

Windows 11\u2019s refreshed design (first leaked ahead of its announcement in June 2021) shares some similarities to Windows 10X\u2014namely, the centered taskbar. Microsoft might have axed its dual-screened operating system<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t mean that its design language can\u2019t survive on your PC.<\/p>\n

To center Windows 10\u2019s taskbar icons, first, right-click on your taskbar and deselect \u201cLock the taskbar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Right<\/p>\n

Next, right-click on the taskbar again, hover your mouse cursor over the \u201cToolbars\u201d option, and select \u201cLinks.\u201d A check mark will app<\/a>ear next to it once it\u2019s been selected.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

Right-click on the taskbar for a third time and make sure that \u201cShow Text\u201d and \u201cShow title\u201d are both checked.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

You should now see \u201cLinks\u201d on the right side of the taskbar, with two vertical lines to the left of it.<\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Move your cursor over the two vertical lines, and then click and drag \u201cLinks\u201d to the left side of the taskbar. It should snap to the right of the Windows and Search icons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Changing the location of \u201cLinks\u201d 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\u2019t snap to the center, so you\u2019ll have to eyeball them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, right-click on the taskbar and deselect \u201cShow Text\u201d and \u201cShow title.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Deselect<\/p>\n

\u201cLinks\u201d should now be gone from the taskbar.<\/p>\n

\""Links"<\/p>\n

Finally, right-click on the taskbar one last time and select \u201cLock the Taskbar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Right<\/p>\n

The vertical lines you used to drag \u201cLinks\u201d and the pinned icons should now be gone, and your Windows 10 computer should look a bit more like Windows 11.<\/p>\n
