Move the Start button in Windows 7

The Start button is located on the taskbar. You cannot move only the Start button. You have to move the taskbar to make the Start button move along with it. To move the taskbar, perform the following steps:

1. Right-click on an empty space on the tasbar and click on Properties.
2. In Taskbar appearance section, click on the Taskbar location on screen: drop-down box, select Bottom, Left, Right, or Top to move the taskbar, which holds the Start button to the bottom or left or right or top.

Note:

In versions of Microsoft Windows prior to Windows 7, you have to right-click on an empty-space on the taskbar and remove the check mark that is beside Lock the taskbar to move the taskbar. In Microsoft Windows 7, you can perform the move operation without having to remove the check mark that is beside Lock the taskbar. You may see Step 2 for information regarding this.
