    As a Windows 7 poweruser, what do I need to know going in?

    When I first got 8.1, I installed classic shell, and it was almost like 7 with it. Then I started playing around with Metro to check it out. It eventually made classic shell look so antique, I uninstalled Classic Shell and have never looked back. I love 8.1.

    need to combine or delete useless partitions...help

    Yes, Macrium free worked for me too just now. I told you wrong. I was trying to make a rescue USB drive, and that's when it told me it could not because there were too many partitions on the drive. I don't have a cd/dvd burner. Ideas?
