Just bought an Asus laptop with Win 8. My first experience with Win 8. I will start with the simple stuff. I would like to use my Gmail account without creating another Hotmail email or any other email account. I would also like the home screen Email icon to open the Gmail account. Is all this possible? If so, how?
