my keyboard has broken

Windows 8 is horrible if you only have a mouse and keyboard.

I hated it, until I got my 27 inch touchscreen monitor.

Now merely dislike it. :-)

Yeah. Not a fan but I can deal with it. I hope. :D

You are slow, you are slow
From where I stand
I can see the curvature of the Earth
And I want to make it flat
I will play, the sky is black

This will seriously improve your Windows 8 experience. :goofy:

It lets you disable to the off-screen hotspots, hide Metro and it brings back the start menu.

Once you have the start menu back, there's option to change the button imagine to a custom one. Downloading and choosing the image below will change your Windows 8 experience to one almost identical to Windows 7:

Haha!

Thanks, I shall download that now and give it a go! I don't understand why they would make something less intuitive. It's not a phone or a tablet. Doesn't need all this weird app shit stuff that I'm never going to use. :-/

I am happy with my laptop though! It's cute. And has a lot more space than my old one. And the keyboard functions! Which is always good.

Thanks, LB :-)
