so i got this new laptop for xmas...i had an older PC that was/is running vista. i decided to set up a network to transfer some files over to the new laptop. when setting up win 8.1 and the laptop i used the same computer name as the old one...oops. no big deal, right...WRONG!!! i renamed the laptop so that the other members of the household wouldn't get confused, plus its nice that every computer is identified differently (lol) well after i renamed it all hell went loose. it created a new user account and deleted the admin account. i cannot reset the laptop to an out of the box state. when i use a restore point, the user accounts are still there. the system is so unstable now that when i reboot sometimes it just loops. every 3rd try i can get to my desktop. if i were to heed the reviews of everyone saying what a piece of sh#t windows 8/8.1 was...i shoulda just went to win7 or just waited for win 10 to come out. its just my opinion. IT SUCKS, i don't like it at all. now i have to buy recovery usb for a brand new laptop that's a week old. THANKS BILL i expect my thank you card in the mail for contributing to your wealth. *******. i dont think i need any help or advice as im sure its done. unless anyone wants to help contribute to the $40 fund for the recovery usb from toshiba. lol
