Not to mention, I recall when Windows 8 was new, my laptop would constantly suffer from drivers (mostly audio) just randomly breaking, forcing me to sometimes unplug and plug the headset in, or even having to restart the drivers for it to work again. Once I upgraded to Windows 10, the problem is vanished. So on top of the UI being clunky and annoying for mouse and keyboard, I didn't like how buggy some drivers felt with it

Windows 8 was my childhood. My old Toshiba Satellite C850-B990 came with Windows 8 Home Single Language and I remembered being a huge fan of the design. Even though it looks more of like a OS for tablets. When you are on the "Desktop" mode, you can do all of your desktop apps. I didn't even hate the start menu because of how beautiful it was. It was more colorful and less bland compared to say windows 10. I only upgraded to Windows 10 in mid 2020 when I could finally format my family's laptop but dang I took a while in windows 8.

Windows 10 to Windows 8/8.1 was almost what Windows 7 was to Windows Vista. The this is Windows 10 isn't much better OS and with Windows 11 failing people switched to "perhaps we judged you harshly, Windows 10". I personally never switched to Windows 8. I had too much good time with Windows 7 and had to reluctantly upgrade to Windows 10. When I actually used Windows 8, I couldn't really find words to describe how horrible it was. Now thanks to Linux and MacOS I can. Windows 8 UI couldn't work because of Windows legacy stuff. Like say we install some programs and they create a bunch of folders with with even sub-folders in them. It was okay during Win95/XP times, but by Windows 7 it was tedious at best. At least the UI was designed around it. Not so much with all those giant icons. What it should've been is simple program icon to execute programs from start menu, if you don't like clutter desktop with program icons. This is where GNOME or MacOS UI made it easy to manage and navigate even back when Windows 8 was still in active development. The experience of install Windows programs can recreated using WINE and you will have a mess of folders and icons to manage. Even today Windows 11 is using similar idea, but it's still limited by remnants of older Windows releases, specifically Windows 95. As for portable devices I tried using Windows 8 and 8.1 with few different tablet devices and almost all of them had the similar problems. My main problem was the UI. It was too small to manage by comfortably. Windows 8.1 was a little easier for having start button at least, but in general if device doesn't have large screen or attachable touchpad or mouse, you will have troubles navigating small menus and even smaller icons. One thing I should point out is, that I didn't use tablets long enough to see if there was settings to enhance the experience.

The following is a way too long unnecessary story but I can't shut up cause I'm too tired at the moment. Windows 8 just kinda broke on me and didn't load outside of the safe mode and I had no idea what caused it, so not having access to my only pc and only having a stick with ZorinOS which I just heard about and wanted to test out in liveUSB mode, for a couple of months I was using that system but the fact that it was getting slow and unstable as the session time grows I wanted to go back to windows, I've tried installing Windows 10 and it just got stuck at around 80% every time I tried it. I didn't have much choice already but I decided to go with 7 since I have never really used it anywhere before, I had a good time with it, it's not that different from 8 as well, missed some metro apps but liked how system was even easier to visually customize it, after some time trying out different looks ended up with just a clean modern looking design without anything overloading it, loved gadgets as well. Eventually I also had a problem with 7, Nvidia graphics bugged out after update and basically I lost ability to play most games with just integrated HD4000 graphics. For about a year I once again switched to the ZorinOS but as a dualboot system so I had access to windows of I need it, eventually I found a way to solve the driver problem by using 3rd party app of a sort, but at this point windows 10 got the big update with light theme and stuff and I tried installing it once again which finally succeeded and I've been using that for 2 years before getting a new laptop with Windows 11 this year.

At that time, I upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to the newly released Windows 8. Unfortunately, most of the drivers and software that worked well on Windows 7 crashed on Windows 8. It was a difficult period due to the lack of resources on forums and communities which I cannot find enough solutions to fix those drivers and softwares. However, Microsoft later enhanced Windows 8 and released Windows 8.1, which supported drivers and software from Windows 7. Sadly, by then, many users, including myself, were already dissatisfied with Windows 8 and had decided to revert to Windows 7. My opinion, Windows 8 and 8.1 were great, but those OS came out too fast. Microsoft made the similar mistake as Windows Vista.

That was my big problem with disc installations, DVDs are MBR by default negating the ability to access passed 2.2TB of storage capacity when I have a 4TB drive just waiting to be used. Not to mention my Sandisk Extreme V2 is also 4TB. I needed GPT on this explicitly for that purpose.

Uh.. Wasn't there also supposedly a *major* security exploit in the early releases that made it hyper vulnerable to malware attacks as well? It's weird because I distinctly remember the warnings everywhere and even Microsoft's push to get people to update from Windows 8 to 8.1 due to the urgency of the safety issues... Like, it wasn't uncommon for people to warn others to immediately update from 8 to 8.1 as quickly as possible before their devices got hacked.... yet I can't find anything about it online now? If you look at the security updates for Windows 8 in 2016, there were A LOT of them and most were labeled as "important" on Microsoft's site, so maybe that where the idea came from... but if that's the case then shouldn't Windows 7 be feared too?

Windows 8 was awesome. This is coming from an Apple fanboy [but who's used Windows for Gaming on PC, right from XP]. Windows 7 was the best, no doubt, then it would be Windows 10, but the 3rd Spot is for Windows 8. Instead of throwing hissy fits like girls, if you spend 5 minutes figuring out how it works, you'd see how fast, fluid, modern, and rather innovating. 8.1 fixed a lot of issues. Man, am so nostalgic rn. My father was given a Lenovo laptop that had Windows 8, and then the company gave him a MacBook because everybody was complaining about Windows 8 lol, so he let me use that Lenovo. I was just amazed the first time I booted up Windows 8. Because I was an Apple fanboy, and own tons of Apple products, and used MacBooks and iPhones, I was just blown away by how modern and futuristic Windows 8 looked as compared to Windows 7 Ultimate [that was on my Gaming PC], and MacOS on my Macs. I remember playing so many Games after downloading them them from the Store. Games like CSR Racing, Real Racing 3, Asphalt Series, Airport City, City building games and on and on. Because they ran in fullscreen, it was just amazing. I absolutely loved the Start Menu. It was so damn good, with so many good apps. Windows 10 is a just a more refined version of the 8's Menu. And Windows 11's sucks. No Live Tiles, nothing. Thanks for joining me on my journey revisiting the good old days. Gonna be nostalgic/ eurphoric/ sombre for the rest of the day now lmfao.

Just to clarify - I do think that Windows 8 during its release was insanely stupid in terms of navigation, but with "service pack" 8.1 they actually found the sweet spot between maintaining both good desktop and touchscreen experience. The main problem was that there was no apps for metro UI, so it became useless over time. My biggest dream back in the day was to use metro UI with only a controller (after all it was very similar to xbox UI) and to have a steam written for metro UI. This would be perfect solution when plugging laptop or desktop to TV. There was a lot of potential in that system and that's why I admire it so much.

Being a computer technician for over 20 years. I assure you Windows 8.1 is one of the best OS Microsoft can offer till date. This is just a mass hysteria. Due to a random famous guy's lack of knowledge on how to use it, people were led to believe it was bad. Despite being a superior Operating system, Windows 8.1 is taking a beating. Software developers and hardware manufacturers are forcing us to abandon Windows 8.1, which is not fair. If software and OS updates are not halted, Windows 8.1 is sufficient for eternity, no need 10, 11 or 12 etc. at all. I can achieve 1 to 3 second start up or boot up to desktop only in 8.1. Tips: Just install Startisback to bring get back classic start menu.

2:02 It wasn’t just ok on touch screen devices, it was significantly better than Windows 10 and 11. A lot of people kept using Windows 8 on their Surfaces until the very end of support. If you were lucky enough to have one of those devices, it wasn’t worth dealing with the buggyness of Windows 10 until it was fixed ages down the line.

i used windows 8 alot, infact i switched to it at the release itself but kinda regret using for so long because it wasn't convenient at all and kinda regret not using windows 7 much when i got my new pc in 2011, forced to use outdated xp thinking it uses less resources not knowing 7 runs better on newer hardware

But to me, in my opinion, I do think windows, eight and 8.1, which was originally catered two computers with touchscreens are actually better for computers with touchscreens because they have those big icons, whereas after this version of windows, that they no longer think about to make the main OS for tablets like even the OS of Windows 11 no longer have the icons, the buttons, more bigger so that it’s easier to press as they have make those OS more for Computers that are not touchscreen like the gestures are not so good like maybe not so user-friendly for touchscreens.
