Step 2: From the popup window, select ‘Desktop’ and click ‘Create’ button. This will create an app shortcut on your desktop. Repeat this with all installed apps.
Step 3: Now from Windows 8 desktop, click on each App shortcut and select ‘Pin to Start’.
Step 4: Now go to your Metro start screen and drag each app (you just created) with your mouse to create a new set of app. Then click on the magnifying icon shown at right bottom of your start screen.
