So, I installed 8.1.... what a freakin pain. By the time I got it installed, I was already steamed. (seriously, 5 minutes alone in a room with some of these poindexters .....)

Failed twice... "setting up a few more things 3%...)
What more things...??? How about a freaking clue....(a lot to ask from the clueless shits at ms central, perhaps).

Ended up uninstalling my ESET, and had to unplug my external hd.

And then... using it.... I tried, I really did, tho not for long....sorry, but tifkam just holds nothing usable for me... I hate it. Perhaps if the install process had not been such a freakin' nightmare, I may have been more inclined to force myself to try harder to like it.

I feel for you, I was expecting it to be a nightmare but for me the upgrade went as smooth as an otter in a car wash :cool:

eight installs so far, on very different laptops and stationaries. No problem with any.
