Mine has 8.1. You just click the Windows + D keys and it goes right to the old-style desktop.

While I've learned a couple of things (see above) I have no clue how to do that. I'll be running it with my mouse on the 28" screen after tomorrow. From there it should be easy.

I just got back from picking up my letter of proof from Workforce. I'm not out of the woods yet, but it's looking good.

Haven't gotten around to setting up SH3 yet as this thing doesn't have a DVD drive.
Nor does mine. My old PC still runs, so I'm going to try to cross-download it using the internal drive from that machine. Soon enough I'll be bying a cheap external DVD drive so I can watch movies.
