I recently upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7

I have been using my HP Laptop for quiet some time and when I purchased it windows 7 was the optimal operating system. It seems everyone wants to use apps now so along comes windows 8. How is it?

I absolutely love windows 8 but before installing it I did a lot of reading. There was a problem even after reading the books available about the program. I did not want to lose all my data so I elected to do an install that was suppose to allow me to keep my data. It did not. I had pages and pages of MS Word and Excel data installed on that laptop.

Fortunately I had started using a program called Sugar Sync several months ago. I really didn't know just how good this program was until some friends came to visit us for a dinner visit one evening and we were discussing computers. Whey I told him about losing all my word files he said, "they are probably saved in Sugar Sync." We discussed this some more and he explained that all I had to do was login to my Sugar Sync account and re sync to my computer. About twenty minutes later every last file I thought sure was totally gone to a cyber grave were re-installed on my new/old computer.

I totally recommend windows 8 and additionally the Sugar Sync program.

Have a wonderful experience with your computer.
