Great software love Windows 8 it's worth the money to buy if you're into it. It's a little tough to get used to it first but once of used it a bit it's very easy to understand

Upgraded the kids from Windows ME... They are loving it!

Once you learn a little about it, and adjust between using your fingers on the screen, instead of the mouse it's a big plus

If you enjoy using tablets you can simply enjoy Wdws 8 for your pc. I really enjoy the ease of getting around in this software. It is so simple my husband enjoys it too.

Here's the facts: if all you have is Windows 8.1, then you're gonna find a way to work with it. If, however, you have options (say an older computer that you don't have to upgrade), then I suggest you stick with Windows 7 (or God forbid, earlier supported editions, but you'll be happiest with 7). 8.1 is not the train wreck popular tech culture would have you believe it to be, but there are enough behavioral quirks to make you a bit dizzy at times.

Easy to work with and no difficulty with installation

This system was so easy to install , insert cd it took about 15 minutes to see a beautiful new system up and running .The price is great to have a nice new system,

Was easy to install and really easy to learn. I would recommend it to a friend it just like using apps on a phone

I am so happy to have repaired my 3 year old damaged laptop, and having windows 8.1 is much better than my old windows. I feel like I have a new computer.

Sideways move from 7. Hopefully free upgrade to 10 will improve it

Installed this on my home PC with no Touchscreen monitor. The live tiles work much better on the Surface tablets but once I figured out how to boot to desktop it has been great. Looking forward to the new update on the start button!

This computer is wonderful. Windows 8.1 is great I love the fact that we can connect to our XBOX w/games and other Apps we have downloaded .

Difficult to find programs. I use email a lot and I lost many of the features I rely on: font change; font size; ability to bold, italicize an underline; variety of signatures. Extremely limited features in contact list. I lost all my groups that I had set up. It is not clear how I can add contacts or if I can edit the existing contacts. The desktop takes you to the last page opened and then I struggle finding how to close that page. I am still not clear how to do it. The app page is convenience but it loaded so many apps it takes a long time to find the program I loaded and because the desktop does not show icons for my specific programs. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not. As I said in my summary, this is not a used friendly program. Currently this program is slowing down my work.

Needed 64-bit windows to run watchdogs. Time to upgrade from my old 32-bit Windows 7 installation. No-brainer. It's fine for my purposes.

After through some thinking, I consider Windows 8.1 a really great update from 8. I like the way it runs and it is smooth. I like it.

The product appears to be running well. Using this Windows 8.1 along with my Mac via the Parallels program. Good operating system.

8.1 has replaced XP on my Toshiba Laptop. Installation was complicated, but a computer savvy friend helped me get it done. I resent Microsoft stopping support for operating systems, forcing owners to buy upgrades.

If you have a Mac and you want to run the system that allows to run Windows this is much better than anything I've run before. I hated all previous versions of Windows. This one is OKAY for things that my kids use for education. The last thing I tried was XP. This is MUCH better.

Totally different operation than windows 7. Have to thoroughly read instructions to use properly. More like a tablet than a computer

I am not a fan of Windows 8.1, however, when my computer crashed (and I needed an operating system quickly), I choose what was on the shelf. If I would have other options, I would NOT have chosen Windows 8.1. In the interest of time and necessity, I made this purchase.
