I created a thread on here a while back and all of your replies helped me greatly and after searching through numerous review sites that didn't really give me enough help, I thought I'd come back here.
I'm currently in the progress of getting a new laptop. As someone who has used Windows 7 for the past four years, I'm a little scared of Windows 8.1. I've read several review site saying how terrible and confusing it is, while I've seen others which are much more positive.
Like my current laptop, I would be using it mainly for searching the internet (for long periods of time), studying and photoshop. I won't be using it for gaming or anything that big or drastic. People who are using it for gaming and anything drastic, seem to be the ones who have gave it bad reviews. So my main question(s) is, is Windows 8/8.1 really that bad? And for the things I just said I would be mainly using the laptop for, would Windows 8 be fine enough for me?
