Really dont like this tile screen and apps setup on my laptop. Probably okay on a tablet but you really do need a touchscreen to benefit.
Some of the apps simply don't work, not robust, buggy. Email only shows you messages from the last two weeks! Photos has a problem syncing with Facebook and won't work with NAS drives. Same with the music app, can't stream songs from the NAS over WiFi.
I have managed to set up the desktop screen as the primary startup screen, which is good. I don't have to see the stupid tiles! At least the old Windows media player can see the NAS drive and build a library.
I don't ever want to go into that stupid tile screen setup, it's a jungle of crappiness.
If it takes me there I will leave it as quickly as I can.
I hope they upgrade this os back to a full desktop setup soon and stop trying to foist their bloaty tablet apps on us. It isn't ever gonna compete with android.
This isn't just me being grumpily resistant to change, it's me complaining about just wasting £99 "improving" my laptop.
This Windows OS is rapidly sinking into a bog of eternal stench.
