Windows 8?
 

Hey just got a new laptop with windows 8 :) wondering who else has experienced windows 8 and if perhaps you could help me to discover any benefits or downfalls you think it may or may not have thanks

The best thing about getting a new laptop with windows 8 is its early enough to install 7.

I heard there's lots of posts about basic Windows 8 stuff on Google

5th post in 7 years on THIS?!

haha thanks i was in the wrong account when i wrote this lol how do you delete your own posts here aha lol there doesn't seem to be an option but im new :P

I am using win8 pro now at home on 2 main systems.

I really like it.... its smooth and works well.

If you have win7--- you don't need Win8

But if you are buying a new system and get Win8---- don't fret... Its awesome and really nice.

There are a lot of small features, but mostly the media system is nice.... but I am not using it much.

I am using it on a Desktop and Laptop and basically use them both in old Windows mode... standard desktop with Start button.

Download the free "classic shell" (google)
And get your start button---you need that.

Otherwise its good... don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

:thumbsup

go fuck windows 8 yourself

I have to quote you so I can second the LOL on that :), thats some funny shit.

Just wait for the 8.1 update, It'll have the boot to desktop option.

i will stick it with win7

I put it on my computer the other day and spent a day with it. Once you realize the Start screen is just a giant Start menu, and you still have a desktop there isn't much difference between it and Windows 7.

Yep, its made for retards, like Apple's computers :mad:

Take it back

os is good, start screen is pretty much useless

Can't you choose that now? I assumed there is metro and there is desktop and you can choose, no?
