The problem with Windows 8 is that IT TOTALLY CHANGES the user interface into something you don’t know and is not easily understandable.

I lost almost a month of productivity on this piece o’ crapware, until I found a way to effectively remove it by installing an application that mimics the old stat menu.

Something as simple as bring up a file explorer to get to a folder containing your documents was impossibly to find.

I don’t use a computer to make videos and sound recording. I use it to do work, and nothing worked anymore.

I just tried to find the file explorer
Windows key took me to the start page and I typed the letter f and it was right there on top. Pretty easy actually.

Windows 8 would not install on my PC running Windows 7.

Or to be more precise.

It took two hours and installed itself.
Then proclaimed “I cannot run on this hardware”
Then took two more hours to erase itself.
Then claimed my Windows 7 was not authorized version.
Then it took several more hours to run an ‘authenticator’.
Then it claimed my registry was corrupt and would not run at all.

I think they deliberately trashed my hard drive.
