I have this computer (w/t Windows 8.1) and its apps page is not accessible unless you do it from local account and not Mircosoft account. What to do?

When you first turn on the computer, Windows asks to set it up and personalize the system. If you have a Microsoft account like hotmail, live or outlook.com email you can enter it at that time. If not, you can choose local account and skip this step. There should be an option after selecting local account to log in without a Microsoft account.

I simply ran the HP update software, and Windows 8.1 loaded without any additional problem (there was no need for the "key"). Have you tried going to the Microsoft Windows update page and see if you can do it directly from there?

BlackBerry desktop software does not give any editable access to the address book - you would need third party software

Windows 8, no microsoft or anything. There's a variety of Windows 8 "apps": Netflix, Internet Explorer, an amazon app, a few acer-related things, apps to email, photos, weather, news, icookbook, kindle, social jogger, skype...a few other things. If you haven't used Windows 8, if you install something like iTunes, it creates an "app" shortcut type thing in the swipe view. I've installed a few other things like Google Chrome, iTunes, Fotoroom, etc... If you're looking for a freeware/shareware document/excel/visio-ish experience without having to install/buy Microsoft Office, I'd suggest OpenOffice. Windows 8, no microsoft or anything.

I do not have Windows 8 or 8.1 yet. It is possible one version might work differently than the other.

I am almost positive that you can. I have not fully downloaded to Windows 8.1.

As I remember, the software didn't allow that option. It's a fairly automated cloning process, but it was months ago. I have Windows 7 and it was supported. Don't know about Windows 8, but I don't remember it having any default exclusions about 8. Quickbooks didn't clone. I had to repurchase the program. Everything else was perfect. You'd probably want to contact Kingston for more detailed answer about their cloning program. Everything has still been working great so far.

I never tried it. Let me check this evening if I have time and I will let you know. Once you install it on Windows I believe Steam will allow the content to be accessed from any where you log on.

I have tried to surf the web under Windows 7, but it is not working for me. Not sure under Windows 8.

Windows 8.1 -- which takes some getting used to. Tries to download a host of unwanted programs - like Optimizer and Reg-cure. A pain to get rid of them

As my computers use either Windows 7, Vista or XP, unfortunately I have no knowledge of Windows 8. However, a quick Google search suggests that some people are having a problem using their Hallmark software in Windows 8 but several are reporting that when they disable their Norton Anti-virus program and/or their firewall, it works fine. You could try doing that. Sorry that I cannot help you further.

It's been awhile since we got it so I don't really remember but I doubt it because windows doesn't support it anymore. It's probably really limited as to what you can do on it at this point. I doubt I would buy it now since it is so outdated.
