I hate the new layout for windows 8

Why is windows 8 so hard trying to be like Apple?  The whole system is confusing and messy.  This is not an upgrade, it is a hotmess... Please go back to the old layout...

If you don't like the default Start Menu or applications, use an alternative start menu...

Free...

http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/

http://windows8startbutton.com/

In $ 5, but it's like Windows 7...

http://www.stardock.com/products/Start8/

OR

Wait for the 8.1 update which allows an element of personalization in the start menu. It does NOT bring back something like the classic desktop menu start, but maybe her you above will still work.

Note that the alternatives don't convert STEP of Windows 8 for Windows 7. They give you just a more recognizable work environment.

In order to avoid completely the front end of the subway, you must install Windows Live Essentials 2012 for client library and email or whatever your preferences. You will also need to install Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader (my preference) to support the reading of PDF files.

  • MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE?

    MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE? PLEASE HELP ME

    Read this: upgrade Windows 10 Dell Latitude D610

    Take a look at my answer, complete instructions.

    Basically speaking, Dell officially supports Windows 2000 and Windows XP on Dell Latitude D610 (and other models of Dx10).

    However it can really run Windows Vista and 7 at least, as long as you max out the RAM (2 GB, 2 x 1 GB, can be purchased at a great price in eBay) and install the drivers, in particular graphics drivers, look in Device Manager and see what drivers are needed manually.

    If you're lucky to have a D610 with ATi graphics card then you can even run Windows 8 and 10 with all drivers available, and I can tell you that it won't be slow dog not unlike a lot of people say, I don't have something similar (a HP Compaq nx8220) in common use. Keep as lean as possible (not bloatwares, anti-virus etc.) system, and it will serve you well.

  • I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7. Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer? I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?

    I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7.  Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer?  I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?

    Page drivers Canon MultiPASS F50 & the downloads shows nothing for Windows 7 (or even for Vista), so I doubt that it works.

    Microsoft Office XP is not compatible with Windows 7.  Office 2003 and Office 2007 are.

He tells me that I'm looking with google (thanks, I wondered!) and the duplicate search input field, exactly as it appears in the toolbar and gives me the opportunity to change my search parameters (which I won't do so unless there is a setting that will make this box to disappear). WTF is the point? I hate it and it's stupid constant popping up and down. I've turned off suggestions and it still appears. I only got the new version for about 10 minutes and it's already making me want to never to use the new search toolbar.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Windows Media Center has stopped updating the lists Guide for Windows 7

    Windows 10 will go out the next Wednesday July 29, 2015. I have Windows 7 and I have technical problems with the Guide in Windows Media Center lists. This isn't updated Guide lists and I wonder if this problem is related to the upgrade of Windows 10?

    I called a technician to answer Microsoft desktop and the technician fixed my computer errors. Unfortunately, he could not fix this problem. Even though I always reset and auto update of listings in the Guide, the result will prove be the same with "no data."

    Windows Media Center has given me many error messages:

    Windows Media Center

    "Windows Media Center has corrected a problem with your registration data and will download the Guide even once. You should review your records to make sure they are always planned properly. »

    "The Guide could not be downloaded. For more information, then Windows Media Center system tray icon right-click and open Windows Media Center update log. »

    I can watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center and manually record TV shows, but it is difficult for me to record TV shows without ads Guide on Windows Media Center.

    Note to update (as of August 2, 2015):

    The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads was already programmed by zap2it until July 21. After July 21, zap2it is no longer can update the lists Guide for Windows Media Center.

    July 23, Rovi Corporation's new Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads.

    From 23 July, listings in Windows Media Center Guide is running back to normal for Windows 7 users.

    My Guide Panel is equipped with a selector more [on the listings in the Guide] where is the expiration date. I hope that Microsoft does not support Windows 7 WMC.

    Please don't waste your time trying to solve the WMC, it is the expiration of the license that is causing the problem. I know it's frustrating.

    On the other hand, is - can anyone say with certainty that WMC is available on Windows 10? No charge for the upgrade to Windows 7?

    The way I see it, not providing the function of key in W7 WMC guide is motivation upgrading to W10, assuming that WMC is available.

    Hopefully Microsoft will give us the fix for WMC in W7.

    Suggestions?  Is this possible?

    Windows 7 installation will have to be eliminated if its currently on a separate disk. Which means you have to start over.

    I would first disconnect the hard drive with your Windows 7 installation.

    Install the SSD drive, then install Windows Pro 10 on this subject.
