Hi everyone, my name is Bruce Sinclair and I am joining this august
group of technical experts to try to gain knowledge about Microsoft's
newest operating system. Windows 8.1.
Some of you may know me as the older brother of a long time member of
this list, Duncan.When I would ask him technical questions about the
mysteries of Microsoft's operating systems, he would sometimes post my
questions to you all.You all have been very helpful.Duncan finally
convinced me to join this group and post my questions directly.I am an
experienced user of personal computers since I bought my first PC, a
beige IBM PC with 256K of memory in 1983. I was a real power user from
the start….LOLI now use a new Lenovo M83 mini desktop with Win 8.1 64K
Pro operating system.I also own a HP laptop still with Win XP, and
tucked away in a storage box, a vintage IBM 755 laptop that I am keeping
for no apparent good reason.Duncan has suggested I use it as a doorstop.
The transition from the Win XP operating system to Win 8.1 64K Pro has
been daunting at times.I am now at the stage where I am trying to learn
how to control the different features of Win 8.1 and correct some
mistakes I have made which I will post about later.In summary, I am a
knowledgeable user of Microsoft based PCs but do not expect any
technical answers from me now.I am here to learn.
