Continuing saga of Windows 8 rebuild. OK, I finally bought a second SSD to get a computer up after the 12 day old OCZ solid state drive died in February. NewEgg dragged their feet because I had NOT shipped it back in the original box with all the original parts. When I asked VISA for money back, they contacted NewEgg and NewEgg being smart, rather than refund the money, sent me a new replacement drive because that costs them less. I received it about 4 days ago. I went to the computer shop, and the shop owner and I found that out of about 6 revisions the brand new OCZ SSD drive had Rev 1.0 The current or latest revision for that drive is Rev 2.0 . And that is why many of these brand new SSD drives die mysteriously. They have to be reflashed BEFORE they are put into service. THAT may be an argument for having a desktop built in a computer store. Anybody ready to hate computers ? If you operate Windows 8 the best way, from the guest account, which makes the system secure, you will have to figure out how to grant yourself permissions or password boxes will pop up every 60 seconds. The reason why you DO NOT want to operate everyday from the Administrator account is that there, Malware or Viruss HAVE ADMINISTRATOR PERMISSIONS, thus they can go anywhere, do anything, and wreck your computer. If you use a guest account Malware runs into one closed door after another. And you will have to find a DVD player and install it, a pdf reader and pdf creator, figure out how Outlook works, how to display your old contacts, and what kind of rescue system you will rely on. Should you make an image from within Windows, it will make ONE image to an external harddrive. If you do it twice, it writes over the original. Have fun folks !
