It has Windows 8.1, which I hate for the time being since I loved Windows 7. After 2 days of fighting with it, most problems have been at least abated except for these 2:
A) It seems the ab stuff - docs etc - is only necessary for those with multiple devices. I'm just a little old lady with ONE laptop computer and ONE landline telephone. I neither have nor want 'other devices' including a cell phone.
So the question becomes: other than losing multi-device connectivity, will any other problems arise from uninstalling those 'ab' things? I like a clean desktop and even though the machine has plenty of space, I don't like stuff on it that I don't want.
When it comes to uninstalling stuff: When I click to uninstall things I don't want from the start page list of apps, for instance, all it does is take me to Programs and Features - WHERE NO APPS ARE LISTED!!! How the aitch do I entirely remove those cluttery apps I don't want?
C) I was horrified when I discovered Windows 8.1 wouldn't let me install RevoUninstaller! What's a good add-on uninstaller program WILL 8.1 let me install? I certainly don't care for their Programs and Features.
Sorry I'm so cranky right now. It took the better part of 2 days to even be able to stabilize my wi-fi connection since I have to piggyback a nearby church's signal (with permission) so I could even get on here to ask how to fix stuff! When purchasing the Acer I failed to notice it had no DVD drive, so it was hell trying to install my long-range signal booster. Not the sort of thing to sweeten my disposition.
But if someone will kindly answer those 3 questions, I'll be grateful and a whole lot happier, thanks!
