Hey guys/gals
Just installed Windows 8.1 pro on a newly bought SSD drive, and for some odd reason, even though it says 8.1 on the system page. it's not acting like 8.1 as it's missing some stuff. First off, there's no search window or option to turn off or restart the PC next to my name on the start screen. And when you open an app, there's no X or close button.
This is installed from install disk I got a while back, and I know the disk is good, because it's the same disk that I used to install the original copy of 8.1.
And yes, I have all the latest updates installed, and Windows is activated. Perhaps I'm over looking something?
Suggestions???
Thanks.
