I've had a Windows 8 laptop for a whole 4 days and already know I don't like windows 8! (8.1 actually). WHY do computer people always have to make things worse every time they 'improve' things?
This new small laptop replaces one that used Windows XP (great) and I also have a desktop (Windows 7 - fine).
Windows 8 doesn't deign to have a few preloaded simple games. This one is full of games I will never want. To download a few free solitaire games I had to have a microsoft account. Fortunately I already have an outlook email address with password but it made me suspicious - why an account of all things? Anyway I did it. But I now have a few games whose format I don't like and which in any event I cannot easily find (because the games icon is full of jazzier things I have no interest in). Worst of all, my computer now requires the microsoft account password every time I switch it on! How do I get rid of all this? I'm the only person who will ever use this computer. I do not need a password and I'm happy to lose all the games, both the preloaded ones and the solitaire I foolishly downloaded.
Many thanks for any advice.
