It's a year old 17" HP laptop but not a touchscreen. Tutorials? I am a man and I do not read directions. It should work like my old op systems. I click, it works. Now, I got 8 working the way I wanted it after a couple of weeks. My beef this time is 4 hours to upgrade and then the reboot and the sign in part. The sign in was soooo frustrating because I was signed in when I started and then it told me the password I had used to sign in was no good and it said I couldn't use my email addy because it was already in use but I could use one of the following and... I lost it. That's when I saw the "continue" and... it worked. I now have a Start Button.

BTW... I am getting an Acer this morning. This will be PC number too many but Vista won't be supported as of next month and I got a great deal so I figure retiring this PC from the net is a good idea. The thee items I bought were on sale and my buddy gave me a further discount because I am such a nice guy...
