susandennisMy main laptop is the one I upgraded to Windows 8. I like it and I see that if/when I have a touch screen and/or when I buy a new computer, it will be ok. But, the upgrade really injured my wifi. I know it sounds impossible but it happened and I could spend the next weeks and months trying to figure out how to fix it, I gave up and I'm in the process now of resetting the machine back to factory default - Windows 7.
It was very frustrating to run speedtests on my 3 year old chrome book and my phone - all on the same wifi and sitting right next to the ASUS and have the ASUS chugging along at less than half the speed. I could plug it into the network and get good speed but I don't want a cable strung across the floor - or any cable at all.
So it's a redo. So far it's been at it about 35 minutes and it looks like it's getting close. Then I'll be downloading a boatload of updates and resetting up everything. At least most of my stuff now is on Google which saves all my stuff and settings making setup easy.
Wonder if I can sell my Windows 8 key? hmmmm
