Oh, I dread the day when I have to go to Windows 8, or 9, or 10. At 84 I am finding that I still long for the earlier models. Windows 7 is still difficult enough for me. Elaine, don't ever leave us. You have been THE BEST ---- Thanks for the years you have put in for us. The newcomers do not know how lucky they are to have you still with Rootsweb.

I will be suffering along with all of you who are dealing with Win8. How many here have now upgraded to Windows 8? Are you all on new computers or did some of you install Windows 8 on an older Windows?

Sylvia, I am two years older than you and have Win8 with my new computer as my old computer crashed after 7 years of good service. Do not fear Windows 8, you will be able to learn it but cannot guarantee that you will like it. I don't like it but am getting better using it. I had XP before and loved it. Win8 cannot compare to XP in my opinion but Win8 is learnable and you will need someone to tell you where some of the things we use are hidden. We can all help each other. If I ever get to the Book Store I am going to look for a Windows 8 book to help me more. Does anyone know of a particularly good book for learning to use Win8 as no instructions came with my computer.

I almost always go with the dummies books. I think I have had one for every operating system. I will probably get this one for Kindle. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=win8+for+dummies&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Awin8+for+dummies Elaine Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening,' - and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
