Windows 7 users will be glad to know that in the most recent builds of Windows 10, the ability to customize the quick links is now back, meaning you can change what shows up below the Most used apps list.

Windows 10 Build 10125 finally enables the Customize list area in the Settings app, and it allows you to change the quick links which are listed below the Most Used area. Windows 7 users have the same functionality on the right hand side of the Start Menu.

As of right now, you can pin File Explorer, Settings, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos, HomeGroup, Network and Personal Folder to the quick links area. It is unknown if more options will be added in future builds.

Being able to customize the quick links area of the Start Menu will definitely please Windows 7 users, and will allow the Start Menu / Screen to be even more personal to each individual user.

Check out our hands on video of build 10125 below and let us know what you think. Windows 10 build 10125 is an unreleased and unleaked build.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
