Keeping Win8.1 on side compute

[Ciggavelli]

Win10 is great an all that. I use it on my primary desktop, but only my 2nd desktop, where I have a nice touchscreen Dell, shyt is great. Using your fingers to move around the desktop is nice as shyt. I'm keeping my second computer on 8.1. It's really only good if you have a touchscreen, but if you do, Win8.1 is the way to go. When 10 doesn't do touchscreen well at all. MS was onto something with 8.1. It's a shame than Win10 isn't has touchscreen friendly, but I do appreciate it on my main destop, where I use a mouse.

Put 10 into tablet mode and it's pretty much the same thing.

My side computer has a HD Homerun Prime with Windows Media Center so I have no choice.

I just upgraded my side computer to Win 10. Gotta say, it's not as touch friendly

For example, the keyboard doesn't automatically pop up when entering into a field. Just little shyt like that. I might revert back to 8.1. I actually love my touchscreen Dell monitor. I wanna use it

Yeah it does, you just have to enable it in the keyboard settings

Nah...I rarely use my side computer, but when I do, I go all touch (my dell touchscreen is the shyt....it even moves up and down and forward and backward). I gotta learn the ropes.

I still think the Metro/Modern Layout > Traditional Layout. I might be in the small minority, but it is probably the best UI I have ever seen that works across all platforms well. Yeah navigating with the mouse was a bit odd, but the shortcuts and ability to just start typing to search was great.

People suck.
