So, I got a new laptop the other day. And since the model itself is a new one, it originally came with Windows 8. Honestly, I wanted to try Windows 8 but I obviously didn’t know what I was getting into. This operating system is convenient if you use a touch screen computer. When I started using it, my first questions were:
1)Who hides the Shut Down button in Settings??
2)How do you close all those app windows that open in Start menu? (the one with all the icons)
3)Why the hell do windows disappear by themselves and where do they go?
3)How do I even activate Windows?! And many other questions.
