Been there & done that....

Would you buy a car if you couldn't repair the damned thing? With this online download and no option to convert it to an ISO which could be made into a disk for installation or repairs, this is the operating system you can't repair, so when your system files get damaged or corrupted, or you have a terrible accident and want to re-install this, just what do you do? Do you buy another copy so you can get something that works? Or do you throw this out and replace it with your good old Windows 8 Pro that you have on a disk for just such an emergency?
I threw mine out and replaced it with Windows 8 Pro.

If you're having a problem finding a start menu or button, download the freebie program 'Classic Shell', and if you want the Sidebar and more gadgets than you had with Windows 7, download the freebie '8gadgetpack', and dress up your Windows 8 with more goodies than comes with the 8.1 version. Works for me!
