    Start Menu - Restore in Windows 8

    Hum have tried both and much of a muchness except one costs the other not. Classic Shell does ok for me when I am using 8 which isn't very often the changing of the start button icon is the only fiddley bit I don't like having to do as I still prefer the 7 flag one and getting one to fit.

    Downgrade Windows 8 to Windows 7

    Oh dear I wished I had known about this tutorial when I bought my new laptop with 8 on it as the resulting time consuming, irritating problems including the activation and verification issues I had with the seller to install 7 instead could have been so avoided:(

    CHKDSK baulking

    Hello and thanks Mike after four attempts it finally has done a straight chkdsk. Now it is down to finding why the machine is going so slowly, and it is not obviously down to some disk problems - well at least I don't think it is because the sfc came back ok as well.
