    Sorry had windows eight for a while and have a nightmare with it i must say.

    And trying to update with 8.1 is an uphill challenge. Searched windows store to no avail.
  • I got a headache when I first tried Win 8.

    Then I installed classic start and haven't looked back. WOn't be going 8.1 if it can be helped.

    Yup, I use classic start, all they seem to have done after all the fuss is to stick a start icon on the desktop task bar it was there before but is moved a little to the right!
