I had some trouble figuring out the menus, like when you enter an app, the side menu becomes that app's particular side menu. Same for the bottom menu. So if you're wondering where all the settings are for your apps that's where they are lol.

Be sure to do it in a room with no blunt instruments, it may take a day or two to get used to Win 8. I don't want to minimize the learning curve. But once you get the hang of it and use it for work it's pretty good. The performance increase after its all set up is the best part.

Thanks pcRat! I don't suppose you know what might be causing my mouse movement jumps to Metro IE issue? Setting all internet files to open in IE desktop stops it, but I would like the option to be able to use the metro IE if I want to. I'd rather have an option to disable that particular mouse...

I'll be in desktop mode in Windows 8 using Chrome or Internet Explorer and will swipe the touchpad of my Sony laptop sometimes and the computer will switch to the Metro verion of IE... I don't understand what I'm doing that is causing that. Is there some touchpad movement that causes apps to...
