Windows 8 Upgrade? Hope it works!


So I bring my little flip screen laptop in to Office Max to see if they can do anything to get it running better.  After about an hour (at least) I leave with a copy of Windows 8 for the little bugger.  Why?  Well, if I had them go through the software and fix all the little issues, it would cost around $200.00.  If I bought Windows 8, I could do a clean boot, wipe all the old crap out and get the little devil running again, by myself.  It was on sale for 69.99.  It is also designed for a touch screen computer.  My little devil is a convertible, it goes both ways.  It is meant to be a computer or a tablet.  He He He, so, now I’ve rebooted it with windows, it’s past my bedtime but how I want to play.  I just found an app for Tetris.  I’m sooooo happy!  My most favoritest video game ever. :-D
I don’t know if it is Windows 8 or my computer getting all that crap off of the hard drive, but either way, the LittleDevil is running nice and smooth, better than when I got her.  So, short I know, but that’s my story for today.
Oh, by the way before I go, I learned an important lesson at Office Max today.  When you install or update anything, go with custom install and watch for those little check boxes where they sneak stuff into your computer that will bog it down bigtime.  Also, disable sleep and hibernate, these apparently where the things that nearly killed the little devil.
