Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
I have now reformatted the laptop to a basic windows 8 install but can't access the app store to do the update.
I suspect it's all the people trying to get it 
Try again in the morning I guess

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Took me nearly seven hours to do mine. But I left it downloading overnight whilst sleeping, and just finished it off in about 5 minutes when I woke up.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
I got it all working on my laptop in the end but I'm not so sure it'll be going on my main pc any time soon.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Whats the deal with the Start button then? Just takes me to the tiled UI (ex-metro) UI. Wasn't it supposed to give you a complete list of apps now?

move your mouse over it and ' right click ' - why they dont have it more like Windows 7 I just dont know - may be OK on a Smartphone but on a PC its just a right pain in the arse.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
I much prefer the new UI and really don't want the start menu back.

Right click on the taskbar choose properties and then click on the navigation tab - what you're after is in the bottom half of that menu.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Nope. But you can 'swipe' down on metro to your apps. Right clicking the start button gives you options too.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
It is the extended build number I am looking for From what I can see there is no option to upgrade the 8.1 RTM I have been running for ages so it is likely to be the same. The extended number gives the build date and is reachable in reg or by downloading AIDA64 trial ( New name for Everest)
