How is it hard to move my Windows 8 OS to Ubuntu

Currently, I have seven computers and have always used Microsoft operating systems.  Unfortunately, the last PC I bought a Windows 8, which clearly is the worst OS ever created by Microsoft System.  I searched on the web for any story indicating if Windows 9 will be Windows 7 or 8.

Unfortunately, I think Microsoft is too arrogant to change any course she believes that all started with Windows 8, and that 9 widows will be nothing else than a patched up to 8 version, with more lipstick.

Can someone tell me how it is difficult to change the operating system on a Windows 8 PC to Ubuntu. I want to test it on my newer computer.  If it works, I can then change all my computers this OS.  Also, other Microsoft products will run on the operating system Ubuntu, like Word or Access.  If not and I am obliged to use all non-Microsoft products, I guess I'll have to deal with this.

Any guidance anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

If Microsoft was arrogant for a change, they would not change Windows 8 requested by the client and complains.

In October 2013, the company released Windows 8.1 free update for users of Windows 8. Improvements include:

-Start on the desktop

-You can set the start screen to view all App

-Start button back

-Faster to stop

The promised Windows 8.1 update 1 will be released in April 2014 promises to make it even easier for the office (users of mouse and keyboard)

-You can stop the start screen with quick access to Power and search keys

So, I would be at least upgrade to 8.1 Windows and apply the available options and Discover Windows 8.1 update 1 when it becomes available.

    at this moment I have Windows security essentials. but I want to change it to windows defender, how to make the switch?

    No, don't do that.

    Windows Defender is anti-spyware.
    Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is a combination of anti-virus and anti-spyware.

    MSE will disable Windows Defender because he has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders is redundant and also create conflicts.

    Keep the MSE and you do not need Windows Defender.

    Is there another reason you want Windows Defender instead of MSE?

  • How to save a project created in Windows movie maker on a flash drive in. MSWWW format instead of. WMV format?

    If I understand well a previous answer, reinporting a project as mswmm allows rediting if the files are still on the computer.  Also, I am inclined to believe that the files remain available in the pane movie maker collections.  Am I wrong?

    > How to save a project created in Windows movie maker
    > to a flash drive in. MSWWW format instead of. WMV format?
    ===========================================
    When you save the project file... go to... File / save project as...
    Give the file a name (Summer Vacation.mswmm) and choose
    your save location.

    All the files (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) source should
    appear on the USB key and if you have the intention of re - edit the
    project on another computer... it should have the same
    version of Movie Maker. Sometimes a later version of the film
    Machine to will open the files but sometimes won't.

    > If I understand an earlier answer, reinporting a project

    ===========================================
    This is correct. MSWMM is a Movie Maker project file which is
    is useful for a re-release in Movie Maker. And... the source files
    (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) should be available in the
    original locations...
    ===========================================
    > Also, I am inclined to believe that the files remain available in the
    > movie maker collections pane.  Am I wrong?
    ===========================================
    When a. MSWMM file project opens the thumbnails...
    remain available in the Collections of Movie Maker component as
    as long as the Source, the files are available in the places that they
    were imported initially from.

    If the source files have been moved, renamed, deleted or are
    unavailable, the thumbnails in the component Collections
    Movie Maker displays red Xs and the project cannot be
    edited.

    If the source files are still available... it is possible that you may
    Right-click the red Xs and navigate to the current location of the
    the source files and restore the path.
