Just build a pc and decided to try out windows 8.1 pro. Have to say took a bit to get use to the interface, but et worked out of the box for me, did not have to do a thinking to make it work ( other then run as admin ). Seems very smooth.

I've been using windows 8 for a while now, yes it works well. I'm waiting to put Windows 10 to the test.

I've heard good things about 8.1, but I've been using 7 since the beta, and since I switched computers a few years ago. 10 should may be interesting considering what some say of it. But? I'm not likely to change until forced to. Likely by hardware failure.

I dont change because im tired to learn it all over and over again.. why when there is something good they replace it with crap... like win 8 no start button... stop bottthhering Micro$hit!

windows 8.1 is great I have no problems with it at all and the best thing is sometime soon in like a couple months windows 10 is coming out and it is going to a free upgrade for windows 7, 8, and 8.1

I've had no problems at all with 8.1, been using 8 since it came out ... managed to get it for 20 bucks or something like that. What I've seen of 10 looks great too and it's cool that's its a free upgrade

I hear you cake about sticking with what you like I also am a huge fan of XP used it till last week on one of our main pc's, I am not sure if i will jump on the 10 band wagon unless I just grab the free upgrade and hoard it till you know what freezes over ( guess i am a bit hard headed like to stick with what i am comfie with ).

FWIW, I believe the Windows 10 free upgrade is for existing Windows 7 users and the offer is only valid for 1 year after 10 is released.

I hate windows 8.1 I have had nothing but grief! I can't play et, but I think that may be an opengl issue or driver issue... I have constant problems with adobe flash player. I can't use firefox any longer because it crashes constantly. Meh. hates me.

with 8.1 you need to make sure the compatibility mode on windows 7 and also you have it run as administrator.

I am not sure about firefox, I do not use it, I have chrome installed seems to work fine. I have not had any opengl problems but I did install the newest video card drivers when I did the install, ( I know most the time we use older drivers for some games and was ready to roll back or install older cat files but this seems to not be a problem for me. ) .I also cannot comment on the flash player, have not run into an issue but me and my paranoid about download newer versions of that might have actually helped me . If I hear or read of anything about this I will post links and or comments. BoCa
