Give it a few weeks and like the majority of window 8 haters you'll go from hating it to loving it, I did have to install Start8 which will give you the best of both worlds.

Other Info
I did a fresh format and install of Windows 8 64 Bit Pro. Sorry but I couldn't live without a start button so I have installed the Start8 start menu which is great. I try sometimes not to use it but find metro frustrating to find programs as I have many. I will use Metro for apps only and desktop of serious computing.
Does anyone bother to read all the post in a thread? Post # 1 states the computer is new with Windows 8 preinstalled. Post # 6 states Classic Shell was installed and all is good.

I don't see anything wrong with windows 8.1 so far and I just got my pc at Christmas time 2014. its not that bad actually a lot of people turned down vista when windows 7 was out but every os ive used ends up being ok after a bit of use and getting used to it.
