8.1 makes some tweaks but doesn’t restore the old GUI.
Go to top of the App -page, see the hand icon?
Drag it to the bottom, the app will close.
Easier.
I remember people not knowing how to change the tape in a typewriter. The never learned because they never had to.
I have been using Linux Ubuntu since the old HDD crashed and burned. I have an opportunity to install Windows 7 Home Premium.
I can always put Linux Ubuntu on a USB and use when I feel like, I think. Does this sound like a good option?
My personal solution would be to install Linux on the it, and run Windows as a VM.
I never did like the VM thing, and I couldn’t get anything like that to work. And I doubt that Windows 7 would run off a USB like Linux Ubuntu does.
MO Fun!
Even in these days of UEFI and signed bootloaders? I’ve not yet had to confront this but figure that one day I will have to. I think for now things can mostly be coerced to work but maybe not always?
I’m a little late to the party, but a week ago I was forced to buy a new laptop and, of course, it has windows 8. Toshiba also put their own desktop on as a tile so all the familiar things from windows 7 are available too. I’m actually starting to like it since multi-tasking has never been easier. I don’t think I would like it in a tile only environment, but this combination is working out very well for me.
