May I ask what model did you get? I personally just picked up a Sony Viao Duo two days ago.
PS: Microsoft was too goddamned stupid to actually create a proper tutorial! You got to give it to apple, they tutorials teach you how to use all the new features, and help you get used to it. try these two, it would help you a LOT, and make your experience a lot better.

takes a few minutes, but trust me, helps you a lot in the long run.
a few of the most important ones for me:
On the lock screen, press and key on the keyboard to log in. no need to drag
at any time, on the start menu, start typing for the program you are looking for
on the start screen, you can "push" it. with your touchpad, slide it to the right, so that the cursor is at the right end of the screen, and keep going. You can also scroll with your mouse scroll wheel
Learn your touchpad gestures. They are pretty useful (assuming your laptop has a decent trackpad.)
PPS: if you have a touchscreen laptop, you HAVE TO play civilization 5 on a touch screen!
