Alternatively, wait until later this year when Windows 8.1 is released and Microsoft has corrected lots of issues.
People who have W8 are likely to be given a free up-date in August and W8.1 should hit the shops in October.

bibblebub....I think it was John McEnroe who said to a Tennis Umpire what I now say to you......."You must be joking". :-)
In fact, I will go as far as saying that you are the first person I have encountered who appears to be happy with Windows 8.

oops! 4th.May) I did give it a fair trial, I had it about two weeks but found it was too fast, among other things, everything seemed to go whizzing by! I returned it to Amazon who refunded me without question, so there must have been something wrong with it. I bought an Acer Aspire with windows7 and I love it, it is very like XP but with extra features of course so I am a happy bunny. -rosy
Cheers rosyposy....Sorry to hear about the problem you had with a Lenovo.
It must have been Windows 8 because I have a Lenovo Laptop with W7 and do Not get any problems. They are good machines; as are Acers.
Sorry Animals4me having digressed in your thread. My advice to you at the moment is to hang onto your XP loaded desktop for a further month or so; when we shall then know a bit more about Windows 8.1

I have come across two Windows 8 machines with faulty installs in the repair shop where I work and one on this site. As has been already said above, W8 is much more efficient that any previous OS from Microsoft.
The main problem seems to be that it looks different to previous OSs and people don't like change. It does everything XP or 7 did, only more efficiently.
