How long it will take to get accustomed to it depends on you. And by the way, as far as I'm concerned Start 8 (not free, but very inexpensive--only $4.99) will make the Windows 8 interface even more like the older interfaces, and that's what I recommend. After using Classic Shell, I will agree that Start 8 is much better.....especially for free if you can find it As far as I'm concerned, $4.99 is close enough to free. I don't mind paying for it.

Classic Shell vs Start 8
After using Classic Shell, I will agree that Start 8 is much better.....especially for free if you can find it I have "Classic Shell" installed --- will something like Revo Uninstaller or Absolute Uninstaller get me back to Win 8 so that I can try Start 8?? |
