Hello!

Hi,

I'm Jay and I've returned to Windows after about 8 years with Linux. I decided my love of computers wasn't the same as wanting to battle to make them work whenever I wanted to do something new.

Win 8.1 and loving it!*




*so far....

Today, or rather, yesterday, I was forced to "upgrade" to Windows 8.1, and while installing all 'apps', as they seem to call programs now, and personalizing and customizing Windows to my liking I found quite a few things unclear or just completely nonexistant, and I thought I couldn't possibly be the only one. So hey, I already made an account here for the unlikely event I actually got Win8, and now that I have it, I might as well start using my account:D

So yeah, nice to meet you all, again:) I hope to be posting a lot more here!

Could you explain "forced". From XP I'm guessing?

Thanks mate:D
Nah not from XP, more like my 7 laptop broke down (read; fell from the stairs, replacing was more expensive than a new one). I did have the option to downgrade to 7 as I have a Dell with 8.1 Pro, but I figured I'd have to get used to 8 one time or the other, and that today might as well be that time:D
