Don't know if this has been posted before but....just in case it hasn't.....
If you prefer to use the old, traditional desktop with windows 8 you've already discovered that the "Start" icon is missing down in the lower left hand corner.
One solution is to check into Stardock.com and download "Start8" and install it. It's a $4.95 item but well worth that minimal cost...I think. I am using it now and have had no problems. The "windows" flag now appears in lower left corner when I'm viewing the traditional desktop screen. When I click on it I get the "start" menu we are used to.
Just a suggestion FYI.
