I had purchased Windows 8 some time ago and finally got around to installing it today. When it finished installing there were only four tiles on the start/metro screen - Desktop, Internet Explorer, File Explorer, and Store and assume there should be more tiles? Also tried to open a PDF file and it advised there was no application and suggested going to the store to download one. If I click on the tile on the start screen nothing happens. If you select to go to the store when it is suggesting downloading an app I get the message shown in the attached screen capture.
I also wondered if I should upgrade to Windows 8.1? It is an older computer and don't know if 8.1 requires more resources and if so would probably leave it at 8. or maybe should go to the new Windows 10 preview? This is not my main computer so if there were some issues it wouldn't be a big issue.
I also have a key for I believe it was media features or add-ons and wondered if I need to install these before I upgrade to 8.1, if in fact I do upgrade or whether they can be added after the upgrade?
There were a couple of other issues that I can't recall right now so will either edit this post or post a follow-up post to address the other issues.
Thank you
