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?

I doubt you can. There might be some third party program out there but Windows 8 was savaged for its UI redesign (rightly so IMO, mobile shit on a desktop OS was nonsense and it did nothing to help their failed smartphone bid) so Microsoft dropped a lot of things for Windows 10 and moved to a point mid-way between 8 and 7.
What you could do is go to Display Settings (right click on desktop) > Scale (change the size of text, apps) and increase the slider though this will impact desktop icons (can be fixed with cntrl+mousewheel) but also menus, text, it might make every other element of Windows look unwieldy depending on how large you go. As it changes desktop icon sizes it may also result in your desktop icons shifting so highly recommend taking a screenshot if the order there is important so you can recover.
Windows 8 was the most underrated version of Windows and I am still looking for a way to emulate its Metro look and feel on Linux
