windows 8.1
Does anyone know when upgrading to windows 8.1 from 8.0, do you loose what is already loaded on PC and need to reload other programs?
Thanks |
It should be safe but it's always a good idea to backup your important data before any update.
|
No you don't. But yes back up.
And yes...windows 8 and 8.1 is garbage. I'm pretty sure you asked for my opinion on that. :) |
what! your not trying to say microsoft would make a bad product? OMG

There's a program you can add so windows 8 looks and behaves like windows 7 , thus rendering it useable.
I tried windows 8 back in the trial days of its release and had trouble working with it and finding specific folders and features. I use windows 7 as its much like XP and Vista - simple ! |
Industry tends to skip releases like this. Windows 8 will go the way of Vista with a Windows 9 (or some other silly name) release.

I have a new Laptop to configure (replacing an old XP), I've read the reviews..
Amazon.com: ASUS D550MA-DS01 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black ): Computers & Accessories Reading the 'advice', it seems I'll have to spend about a day updating the OS, before using the system.. :eek: I'll delivery it to my Sister-in-law in a couple of days.. I hope! I've been using '7' on my new desktop PC, for a while now, and like it. It's like a faster version of XP.. :) I'm going to try to update my old XP PCs up with Linux mint-16- Mate. I've been checking it out using a USB drive. So far, it looks promising. But, it might turn out to be too complex for an old guy.. I'm not much of a IT guy.. I forget stuff too quickly.. :o |
