I don't understand win7 vs win8. Are you trying to figure out with one is worse?
First, I'll answer this - NO, I like Win7, and dislike Win8 A LOT, so I bought a new LT without knowing about Win8 and how it interacted and messed up my data frequently ... so, we, on here, went through a few threads trying to help me. But I finally figured I don't have the tech knowledge to install Win7 on this Win8 LT - so, instead went one by one and found all the bloat (still doing it actually) and dumped it in the trash can. Now, I'm having some luck with this Win8, at least enough so my programs work and my data stays the way it should.
We're on the road, and traveling, so it's difficult to find a shop that can help me unwind this quickly - each one says, oh,oh, a couple weeks, leave it. I plan to be 500 miles from here in two weeks, and want my LT with me ... :( Bummer ...
It's been a hard ride these past few months too, and beyond the operating problems, learning, etc - it kept eating my hotspot and then Verizon overcharges me because the bloat is updating constantly and eating my allowance. That's over .. finally ... found a little at a time, figured out what it is, and dumped more in the trash than I kept - and saves half my hotspot allotment without all the unnecessary updates it plugs thru every two seconds, it seems.
