I've spend a lot of time figuring out this new computer. Windows 8.1 acts crazier than my old computer. I spent three days trying to get my electronic library subscription to function. There should be some sort of easier transition between versions. It feels like I've landed on another planet every time I attempt to resume an activity I used to do easily on the old computer, which exhibited lots of unpredictable behaviors in part related to the catz' keystrokes initiating bizarre resettings and commands.
Probably, the same person who designed your rental car designed this computer. (*sigh) This, too, shall pass.
I’ve read somewhere that Windows 8 isn’t user friendly. I have Windows 7 and it’s easy to use, not much different than Windows XP I had before. That Dell computer totally died so I had to get another computer right away and the version then was Windows 7. That was in 2011.
Eventually, you will get used to Windows 8 but likely cuss for a while as you learn. :o)
I am still on XP. I say an advertisement on TV today that said they supported XP. I can’t remember the name. I think it was PC-Matic.
I wonder if I would be better off to check that out.
