My win 7 laptop died this past spring and I realized that ALL new PCs were being shipped bundled with win 8 so I was stuck. Hated it in the beginning and still hate it (almost one year in). Have heard computer manufacturers have found a way with Microsoft to be able to ship new units with WIN 7. I may go buy a new WIN 7 laptop, as I hate WIN 8 so much. Worst operating system ever.<br /><br />SewCalGal<br />www.sewcalgal.blogspot.comSewCalGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062059207544865569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-59988487085469027032014-01-27T18:49:55.837-06:002014-01-27T18:49:55.837-06:00If the PDF opens in the Reader app and you have a ...If the PDF opens in the Reader app and you have a touch screen, try touch the bottom of the screen and swipe up.

I've got all my documents and photos organized and like working in the desktop mode, of course. <br /><br />What were they thinking with this Windows 8? It is not intuitive, not user friendly, just silly and wastes a lot of time. I think they just dumped off all of us who have been using Windows from the beginning in favor of new users who won't even miss the menus, organization, and control.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks so much for all the tips! I'll try anything....!Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-50960393151164900982014-01-27T09:13:13.430-06:002014-01-27T09:13:13.430-06:00I too have one machine with Win-8 and find it so N...I too have one machine with Win-8 and find it so NOT user friendly - or I'm just too 'old-school'. I had the same problem of not being able to print from a pdf. And, if my rememberer is remembering correctly, you should be able to do Ctrl-p and be able to print. I've still much to learn, especially in finding all those hiding spots.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05454690665258566957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-33168327161658419292014-01-26T22:24:05.731-06:002014-01-26T22:24:05.731-06:00Windows 8 is a mystery to me too.

I've tried talking to it, but it just rolls its eyes at me.<br />linsquilts.blogspot.comLin's Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698011621771694731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-38392633132333953512014-01-26T18:05:44.134-06:002014-01-26T18:05:44.134-06:00I dumped 8 and installed 7 when I got my notebook ...I dumped 8 and installed 7 when I got my notebook last year.

I am originally from WI Kenosha area, so I do remember those cold, cold days/months. <br /><br />Hope you get Windows 8 all worked out or figure out a way to get Windows 7 again. My hubby refuses to utilize 8.

For all that I've had my Bernina 830 for over a year, I'm still dealing with a steep learning curve. While the three small sunflowers on the back of the sweatshirt look nice, the one on the front looks much better - because it was the fourth one I did. Bit by bit.<br /><br />I'm hoping for a "cold" day for Monday or Tuesday...a chance to stay home and sew.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850745429509147652noreply@blogger.com
