The upper one is Windows 8, just look how small W10 taskbar looks next to it.
How can I make it look like 8, basically to be the same size with icons and all?

Use Linux with KDE plasma or Cinnamon as a desktop environment. Their defaults look very similar to windows 7 or 8. You can change the start button to look like Monokuma or the windows icon if you feel like it. The icon sizes are customizable in cinnamon and very customizable in KDE plasma.
I know this doesn't help their issue regarding Windows, but my mind immediately defaulted into thinking about KDE's taskbar customization and how easy and powerful it is. I provided some Windows solutions in my comment in this thread, but Microsoft devs tend to break things a lot. If some power user wants to go this far to customize their machine, switching to Linux just makes more sense at this point, but I know not everyone can easily migrate. I would suggest people get a second device or use a virtual machine to practice Linux on until they are more comfortable to use it as their main workstation. Then if they need to use Windows for some reason, they could run Windows in virtual machine. If they have the hardware for it, they can passthrough their gpu for gaming, rendering, etc.
