Windows 8 Pisses me off...
« on: December 15, 2012, 03:36:38 AM »
This laptop I just bought has Windows 8 on it and it tends to bog the hell down, it's not a bad laptop at all. I'd reformat and go back to windows 7, but I can't seem to find drivers it...

Anyone have an idea when these new windows 8 laptops will have driver support for win 7? or anyone have another idea for me? Windows 8 is terrible and a resource hog.

Also, Bells Winter White Ale is a great winter beer.  :D

8 should be faster but before you downgrade, use the new built in reformat option.

Charms Bar -- Settings --> Change PC Settings --> General --> Remove everything and restore Windows

I was setting up someone's Windows 8 laptop the other day and the thing is the most unintuitive OS ever designed. Someone who isn't familiar with computers won't be able to figure the thing out at all.

There's a good chance someone who at this point is still unfamiliar with computers will never be.

I know comps, it's just a stupid OS... They tried to make it for the average Joe and made it annoying for people who know how to use a fucking computer...

Fuck MS, I should just dual boot Ubuntu.

Did you try Pokki? I don't know if it's slow on older machines but I think that it works even better than the traditional start menu.
