My computer was running great... and fast. Today I d/l 8.1 and it is slow as molasses. I hate it. How can I get rid of 8.1 or fix this. I have no patience. Everything takes forever to open and close.

Did you upgrade from the windows store? my upgrade from the store made my machine sluggish.
Only way I fixed it was to use the iso trick on this forum and do a fresh install of 8.1.
What version of Windows 8 did you have? Was it pre - installed or did you have a disk?

It was preinstalled. It seems to have become a bit better but start up is slower so I just put my computer to sleep instead of turning it off. I'll try turning it off later and see if it's sluggish again.

Now I get this on Facebook:

Get the New Windows App

Facebook for Windows features live tiles, snap view and more.

What is it and should I try it or not. I don't trust too much on Facebook.

If you want to do Facebook as an app otherwise do it on your desktop as you usual would or not
