My old? laptop gave up the ghost so a new one was in order. It came with windows 8 and when you have had a couple of hours playing on it you can find your way around easily. The app part was disregarded for a while but found some useful bits this morning. I have been running it like my old one using the internet setting and find it quite a useful tool. A bit of confusion
as all the old icons I used are all in different parts of the desktop. If you read the reviews you would never entertain buying widows 8 but most reviewers are seriously anal. Thumbs up from me
