Bought a new 8700 with win 8.1 on it. , not realizing the difference between it and the win 7 64 I use on my laptop. I hate it. I don't use apps. I don't use the cloud, etc. I run it in desktop mode. Twice I've signed on to live mail 2012 and all my email and subfolders have disappeared. Now I keep getting IE11 has stopped responding, can't find problem, must shut down. Never had any of these problems with my laptop or my old XP desktop.. Any thoughts on un-installing win8.1 and installing a new Win 7 pro? This is a new machine and the "older" it gets the more problems it seems to have.. Why did they stop support for XP Why????
thanks
