Greetings, to all...I'm sure I'm coming late to the party, but after the past 8 days I've had, I thought I might save some poor soul the trouble I've been dealing with. First, let me say I'm not a S/W expert by any means, so your experience may differ.
I bought MS Windows 8.1, ostensibly to upgrade my 'security features' on my PC. I soon discovered I didn't like the interface at all. It reminded me of a 'Flea Market Hawker' trying to sell me new 'Apps'. BAD, Micro Soft! BTW, once Windows 8.1 is loaded onto your PC, you can't remove it! MS omitted the HDD Sector Removal Command from it's list of choices when trying to remove the S/W. It now resides in a 'Windows.old file in the background.
But, much worse, I discovered Windows 8.1 does not play well with Sony's "Content Browser", file management S/W. This was a big issue! After spending literally 20 hrs on-line with my IT service, convincing ourselves it was not compatible, I reloaded Windows 7 and all is well.
I don't know if this was an isolated incidence or what, but I thought I'd say something about it.
JMHO, YMMV.
