Thanks WHS....got sick of playing in the Command Prompt and decided to partition the main HD and install there from a USB stick.
Worked a treat...but having come to grips with the new system I have to wonder just where all the work has gone into it.
Once past the Metro interface the look and feel is mainly old hat. A hell of a lot of improvements in the power of the system, there's no doubt, but I feel the 'old' look needs modernizing in the final draft if they are to convince new buyers.
