I use Classic Shell on my Windows 8 and it works well.
Windows 8 and Windows 10 dual boot with two SSD's

Here is Classic Shell at work.


Looks like XP.

I think this is worth repeating:
Your best bet really is just to get used to 8 - It's fine once you get your head around it.
After you start a Windows 8/8.1 computer, getting to the Desktop, which is just like the Win 7 desktop, is just one click away from the Win 8 Start screen.
