Sorry you feel that way about Windows 8, personally I really like it, and Windows 8.1 is even better. I loved Windows 7 when it came out and would still have it on my system if Windows 8 never came out. It takes a bit to get used to but once you get past the new fluff it is the same as windows...

Welcome to Windows 8 which I am sure you will like in a short while. I had a problem with upgrading to Windows 8.1 mainly because I decided to do a complete format and install Windows 8.0 first but RUSHED through installing it and then had glitches with Windows 8.1. I finally decided to do it...

You do realize you can bypass the Metro Start/Touch screen and boot directly into the desktop right?

Hi All, I was showing a friend some features of Windows 8.1 and went into the Settings and changed the Lock screen picture. Underneath the chosen pic there are four others that I can select or I can select browse below those and find other pics to use. I was wondering if there was a way...

Hi All, For some weird reason I cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 Pro with Media center. :( Here's what happened; Back on Oct. 17th I formatted and installed Windows 8 Pro and then installed Windows 8.1 Pro. Yesterday I was having a few issues with my online...

Hi Mike, Just seen your post and was thinking the same thing that your video card may not fully support both. Reason for saying that is I always have had ATI video cards and never had a problem with resolution on tv in extended mode or duplicate mode. I guess I am lucky with that. The...

Yes I have found those two features to be better and much easier to get to start screen now.

Hi All, Just wanted to share with you all of my experience with moving up to Windows 8.1. I decided it was time to start new so I installed Windows 8 Pro from the USB I had made. All went well after a format of C:\. So I decided to head to Microsoft Store to get the upgrade to...

oh that's nice to know...maybe I will check it out. thank you

From reading other posts here I gathered this Preview is only for Developers or IT Professionals. I am neither :(

I usually format my operating drive once a year just to start fresh. So a clean install is not a problem for me but it depends on the time of year :). I hope the option to upgrade from the Store and a separate option to download the 8.1 upgrade for manual installation will be available on...

I will wait for the Oct. 17th software and if the WMC don't work then I will not install it. I rarely use it but just thought if available then I would install it. I don't think I will go through the trouble to reinstall. Well not just yet anyways...thinking about buying a WD 4TB internal drive...

Thanks for the replies. I haven't installed 8.1 yet because I read here in a post that the RTM was made available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers. I am not a subscriber so I must have a key to install it I am assuming. I didn't think I could use my valid Windows 8 product key until Oct. 17th. Am...

Hi All, Just curious about the Media Center that I was able to get free with Windows 8 pro. In Windows 8 it was a separate download. Is the Media Center included with windows 8.1 pro? Or when I upgrade to 8.1 next month will it be available for me to download free...

If you don't have it fixed yet I suggest go to Cyberlink webpage and get the update "PowertoGo latest patch". Some say that fixed the issue. Good luck :)
