Hey guys, I just installed Windows 8 yesterday, and so far I'm liking it!
I have a few questions, (and I'm sure this list of questions will grow), so here goes.
1. Is there any difference between me using a local account to log in, or using my Outlook.com account? (Apart from, perhaps, my accounts' portability if I use the Outlook account.) I'm just trying to get a good pros/cons perspective of the two options.
2. I noticed something weird about some programs running in Windows 8. For example, there's a shortcut to Chrome on my desktop, and an icon in the start menu. So I opened Chrome for the first time using the icon on the desktop, and I set it up as usual, downloading a few extensions I use regularly and such. Today, when I opened it from the Start menu, I noticed that the instance of Chrome that opened up was literally as if it was a fresh install of the browser. However, going back to the desktop will open up Chrome as I had set it up initially.Does anyone know why this happens/how I can rectify it? Thanks!
