I mentioned that for professional purposes Win8 was unusable ... touch typing seems like spelling to be a lost art. Whatever the speed of the machine my secretary can go faster than recent MS Office ( or its Linux equivalent) so she uses an old MS Office running on a Mac which is 100% trouble free. |

btw if the version of Windows 8 you have is 8.0 make sure to install the free upgrade to 8.1. It is not quite so insanely irritating as 8.0 |

You can fix it to behave a lot more like Windows 7. |

Shirley, that was very good advise. I would second that. It is so very different. |

I can't cope with a scratch pad, I have a Logitech wireless mouse. a little dongle plugs in the side of the laptop and that connects to the mouse without it being joined on by a wire, It makes life so much easier, you can get them in any computer store, or on Amazon etc |
