Windows 8 is a cellphone / tablet OS...

I tried setting my brothers Windows 8 machine up and just couldnt handle it. I have been in the IT field for over 10 years now and I just couldnt handle Windows 8. I wiped it and reinstalled Windows 7.

So my tip would also be to get rid of 8 and install Windows 7. Hell maybe give Linux Unbuntu/Mint or some other flavor a shot.
