The beauty of Windows, in addition to its relative ease of use, is also the fact that it can be transformed, graphically, into another computer. There are many ways to transform Windows by giving it the appearance of another operating system or even to give the desktop a graphic appearance inspired by a mobile phone. You can turn Windows into Windows 10, Mac, Android, Windows Phone, iPhone, Linux Ubuntu and much more. Skin packs are software packages that include, inside them, all the files to transform windows with a single overall installation, without therefore any need to change settings manually. These graphic themes are mainly for Windows 10 and Windows 7.
During the installation, after extracting the zip archive (by pressing the right button and choosing the option), you must be careful not to click on Next without looking and, when prompted, choose the Custom Installation by deselecting the three options that change the browser's search page.
Each package also contains the patch to the uxtheme.dll file that Windows keeps write protected.
After installation, you will be prompted to restart your computer.
Each Skin pack can then be uninstalled as it is done with Windows programs, from the Uninstall Programs of the Control Panel and everything will return to normal.
Each Skin Pack transforms the graphics of the menus, windows, application bars, sounds, icons, cursors and even fonts.
The best Skin Packs to download and try for free are:
