(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello NGU,

A few months ago I bought a Sony Vaio E15128CX/S. The specs (for me) are really great:

-Quad Core
-8GB RAM
-1 TB Harddrive
-Intel i7
-Windows 8...

I really just can't stand the Windows 8 on it. This computer has been freezing a lot, and I'm starting to think it's because a lot of the apps I have don't support Windows 8 yet. The computer came default with 8, so I don't know if it's a good idea to put a version on it that it didn't have before. Help me out if you can please, share your opinion.

Thank you!

Edit: When it crashes, the first thing to crash is the taskbar, then everything else just becomes unusable (I can't even open Task Manager), and I'm forced to shutdown the computer by holding the power button. This is what happens everytime for me.

I have a pc with windows 8 and I think it is crap and gimmicky. You should go back to windows 7. I am definitely going to myself. They made windows 8 look like a tablet layout also I hate how there is no start button on the regular desktop screen.

i think you should stay with windows 8, people go on about how much windows 8 is shit but they only say that because they don't know enough about it. apps that aren't on the store, you can just get the desktop version

Don't get me wrong, I think Windows 8 is a great idea, but it feels unfinished. I download apps that are desktop version, but I think it causes the computer to crash so often because of how it doesn't support it.

To be honest, I haven't had any of those issues. Mine has been more stable than windows 7.

I don't download all too many apps as running too much in the background that is constantly syncing both eats up your internet speeds and processing power but yea...

You should see about using a clean disk and going for a reinstall with the serial. You just might have a bad partition on it that needs to be fixed.

I tried Windows 8 and i must say Windows 7 is better and more stable imo, why not try Windows 7 and if you feel Windows 8 was better just re-install. Did your laptop come with a recovery disk ?, if so just wipe your drive and install Windows 7. If you have no recovery disk you can create one, just search youtube there are some tutorials on how to do it. If you dont have any disks to create a recovery then you can just download Windows 8 and make a bootable USB and install from that and just use your product key (sticker on bottom of laptop) to activate. Another option is to partition your HDD and dual boot, heres a tutorial on how to install windows 7 You must login or register to view this content. if you have no product key you can just use an activator .

if they don't support go back to windows 7 and one question since you do youtube why get a laptop? but yea windows 8 is ok if your a basic web browser but window 7 is alot better its the best windows ever in my opionion

Not much of a difference between a laptop/desktop when you have a PC like this.

laptop i7= desktop 13 with hyperthreading

Still, a laptop will still do what he needs to do. Desktops and Laptops both render Youtube videos quite nicely.
