abhi2011 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Should I get Windows 8? I have used it before and I did like it some what. But then it crashed. I am not sure if I should get it again (due to fear of losing all my data) Does any of the Windows 8 users think it is worth it?Also I am favourably inclined towards getting windows 8\. But I just not sure whether I should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And other than the fact that my download speed is really slow I don't have much of a fear of losing all my files. (They are on a different drive) But I will have to download everything again.

aaaron Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 > i just don't like all the switching between programs and between the tiled thing and desktopThat's what everyone says, but in reality, you don't use it as much as you think you would. I barely use it.Only reason I use it is to search for a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azkanan Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 No.When trying to use the scroll bar on the right, a bloody overlayer creeps up over the screen when you hit the right side of the screen. Pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain in the ass.The start charm only pops up if you scroll directly on the bottom-right and top-right corners, and then proceed to scroll up.You know you can also scroll by actually scrolling the mouse directly right?

Anna Comnena Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Your next computer will probably have it already so why bother with it now? It doesn't do anything that much better anyway, why bother with the hassle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well I'll get a copy just in case. But still there isn't much of a difference between windows 7 and 8 other than the metro apps and the start menu. Startdock apps can help you with that.

abhi2011 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Even though I have used Windows 8, it feels to be a bit hard to find my browser and open it up. (Partly because I don't like .exe's in my desktop and other than metro apps nothing on my start menu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 You could easily hit the "Windows Key" and just start typing in your browser name. Or add it as a pin to the task bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you give me a few tips to make a good Start Menu? And also some good free apps including games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
