BRING BACK GADGETS

There are many good reasons for leaving Gadgets alone — some can pose a security risk after all — but if you’ve upgraded from Windows 7 and can’t live without them, you can restore them using 8GadgetPack ( http://8gadgetpack.net), which also works in Windows 8/8.1. Not only does it restore full Gadget functionality, but you gain modern improvements such as support for high-DPI screens, allowing you to resize your gadgets for larger displays.
