Stick with Windows 7
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the new operating system to learn how to use it. Not terribly impressed. It might be better with a touch screen.

Great Internal Hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Western digital generally has a 3 year manufacturer warranty. The drive warranty process is easy with this vendor. Simply go to www.westerndigital.com and follow the warranty option. Their website walks you through the warranty process. Part of the warranty process checks to see if your hard drive is still under warranty.

Not bad for a FORCED upgrade!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price was fine - I had received an ad from an online store and took it to my Best Buy store and they honored it. I have no complaint with Best Buy. I like the system but do not like being forced to upgrade to a new operating system by Microsoft.

Sucks. DO NOT BUY IT
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Windows 8 is Microsoft trying to make users BUY a touch screen device to use this. There is no start button that works, the stupid Windows 8 display is really annoying and you CANNOT get used to it. You cannot run certain programs on it at good FPS or even AT ALL! If you are looking for a PC and it comes with Windows 8, I DEFINITELY recommend upgrading to Windows 7.

Windows 8.1 - MUCH better than Win 8.0
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd heard better reviews of Windows 8.1 over the 8.0 version, and decided to try it. It is much better than 8.0. While I don't love the Win 8.x series, I hate Win 8.1 a lot less than I hated Win 8.0. It's Microsoft - so, you know what you are getting in terms of compatibility, installation, etc.

Best OS from MS ever!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the coming of Windows 8.1 I can now use my Computer, laptop and smart phone as one. It's the best upgrade I've seen from MS since going to Windows from DOS!!!!!!! Great job MS!! I have friends that rely on me for computer advice and my recommendation will be to upgrade to MS Windows 8.1!

I'm a fan of the new Interface
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've heard people complain that it's only good for touchscreens. I use it for both and I like it. I wish it didn't cost so much though.

Designed For Tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from Windows 7 because I was lured in with all the "new features" of Windows 8, Plus I am the kind who likes to get the latist, thinking that it must be better. I was wrong, Microsoft developed this system so it could be used on a phone, tablet and touch computer. For them I guess its good. For a traditional mouse user like me its a waste of time and quite frankly its a pain in the butt. I wish I could go back to Windows 7 , But Microsoft never lets you go back.

Good OS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Windows 8.1 works great. It may be different from 7 or xp, but it functions just fine and is easy to learn. OS operates smooth.

Not user friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I had not paid so much for it and could get the windows 7 back I would of thrown windows 8 in the trash and that is based just on it not being user friendly. Trying to save a picture and find it, good luck. Trying to do skype and still watch my shows online at same time or do multiple screens is a royal pain. Clearly this is not best buys doing. Best Buy was wonderful on this visit .
