We feel newer is always better. So we buy the latest product with latest software. But in this case, if you have an option between buying a laptop with windows 7 and windows 8, go for the older windows 7.
No one told me that and I have ended up with this (expletives) windows 8.1 machine.
Why I hate windows 8
This has a start icon which shows a set of apps instead of folders and files.And the result is no one uses that start icon anymore. There is also a desktop where we can still put items. But the hilarious thing is, there is no option in start icon even to shut down your computer. You go to right end of screen, hover there till you get settings icon, then use power icon.
That would have been bearable, if not for booting time. I switch on the computer, keep glaring at blank screen for what seems like inifinity, then appears a screen which tells me to please wait. Then the login screen. And after login, another wait. Why the hell does it take such a long time.
I tried everything. I disabled all startup applications. I tried both enabling and disabling fastboot - in power options - settings which are disabled (great!!). Nothing seems to help.
Then I got an idea. Why can't I downgrade? Not myself. But my os to windows 7? But it appears, windows lets you do that only if you have pro edition of windows 8.
So a small pieces of advices, go for a machine, with older and slightly better windows 7
