1 out of 5 eggs A waste of money, don't do it! 09/09/2013

This review is from: Microsoft Windows 8 Upgrade

Pros:

Easy to install.

Cons:

This is probably the worst product to ever come from Microsoft! It is not user friendly and all my old files have gone "somewhere" on the computer, everything is hard to find. It takes 3 times longer to access files that were just a keystroke away on all prior Windows versions. After several months of trying it out to "give it a chance" I have come to the inescapable conclusion that I totally regret buying this product. I hate it more now than I did after it was installed. Unfortunately there is no way to set the system up for a "classic" view to have everything in a familiar setting.

Overall Review:

It's very obvious and apparent that Windows 8 is designed for tablets and touchscreens, not a traditional desktop computer with a mouse that you keep all of your files and actually do work on. I wish I had bought Windows 7 instead of the newest version of Windows.
