Besides, you can always switch from MS account to the local one after the update.

Try this... (couldn't verify yet) "Make sure your PC is tied to your account. When you sign in with a Microsoft account, the PC is tied to your account for sync purposes. If the PC you're trying to upgrade isn't tied to your account, you won't see the Upgrade option in Windows Store." Source...

As far as I know, the database is transfered to Last Pass in encrypted form and no masterkey is sent/stored, besides the encryption also uses e-mail address and several other hashing procedures, so Last Pass does not know anything (I am not technician, so excuse my bad wording). Entering the...

By getting back to desktop do you mean minimizing all windows? Although there is no visual divider in the bottom right corner of taskbar, the corner is still active, just left-click it and desktop is clear. If you are talking about Metro, then Win key then click on Desktop tile. Otherwise I...

According to what you have written, I guess there is no reason to upgrade now. In the future, maybe, but not now.

Or you have just the trial version?

The remote control (e.g. TeamViewer or LogMeIn) would be probably a good choice, as you have to sign in your Office 365 account from the computer where you want to install it. Install Office on more than one computer - support - Office.com It worked for me. So either use remote control or you...

I am pretty sure it will be standard update for Start8, after all: Consider WindowsBlinds 7, now WindowBlinds 8 for the next OS Windows 8.1 is just and update to Windows 8 There would not be Start 8 1.17 beta Paid major updates come with new OS (as they have to be more or less completely...

The question is - does it go black after booting or do you have black screen all the time? If the first, you may consider this... If I am wrong, then sorry.

@Coke Robot: I am glad I am not the only one who loves the new UI - so clean, so much work space:-) Also, I jumped on the 365 Home Premium and am happy about it:D

Firstly, there is this: Microsoft Office University Suite | Online Subscription - Office.com. Otherwise, Office 365 Home Premium makes sense if you would like to have up to 5 computers - I have subcribed for Office 365 because I have 3 computers in my family. Otherwise, it would make sense for...

No, as OpenOffice is a desktop app (just as Office 2013, e.g.). Start screen contains the same shortcuts that would be inside Start Menu on Windows 7.

On Windows 8 Pro x64 freshly installed, with GeForce GTX 550 Ti, when I install 310.90, I cannot reboot - the screen just keeps black, sometimes even turning monitor on and off. When I get home, I will try reverting to an older driver. However, the strange part is - I have been using the same OS...

I am not a power user, but on the other hand I am more than a common user, somewhere in between. At work, I have W7, at home W8. I have absolutely no problem with either of these systems - of course, there are some things that do not appeal to me (like Reader in metro-style only, which makes...

Not directed at me, but I am using Decor8 by Stardock to achieve this.

I use the Start Screen for a general overview, several shortcuts for MS Office, PDF reader etc., just trying to keep everything on a single screen (no swiping left/right). On my desktop, I am using Start8 by Stardock - with the Win8 style of Start menu:-) As I have always used start menu...

I find myself in the same boat. I admit, I use Start8 to bring back the start menu to desktop, yet I start my session on Start Screen and from time to time I go back to it. Besides, I have switched in Start8 from the Win7 style start menu to Win8 style (the same app shortcuts as on Start Screen...

My words exactly. In addition, having spent some time on the Start Screen, I have also paid (a small, in my opinion) sum of money for Start8 and am using both Start Screen and "old" start menu now, because each has its own uses for me. Best of both worlds...

Seeing the much of rejection of W8, this article came as a smooth wave of comfort - in the end, only time will tell. I wish MIcrosoft the best with these Windows 8, for me it would be well deserved. Change is always uncomforting for the masses (and that includes bussiness too).

I have been using Start Menu in W7 very seldomly anyway, and with Start Screen is almost the same...almost, but being able to quickly review new emails, news etc. is a bonus. Not to mention the incredibly fast booting...
