WooooaaaaoooooaooOOhhh I am speaking to you from the other siiiiiiide...
The upgrade was a success! And pretty simple too. The biggest problem so far has been installing drivers for my network cards. 8 wasn't able to automatically install either the integrated ethernet card or the dodgy wifi card, so I had to do it manually. Getting the drivers onto the computer wasn't too hard with a laptop and thumb drive, but neither Gigabyte nor Trendnet have released Windows 8 drivers. So I had to find a way to install non-approved, unsigned drivers to even get onto the internet. Somehow it worked, I'm not really sure how. But it's done.
And I'm definitely installing an old-style start menu, so that I can easily access My Computer and the Control Panel at the very least.
There's a right-click menu on either the bottom left or right that has all of those functions easily accessible for you... hover your mouse.. I think it's the left side, it will say "Start", then right-click and you get the menu.
Eh, my brother has 8 and he says it's the bottom left.
EDIT: ninja'd, and I don't see a delete post button, even though no one has replied yet...
EDIT2: I too had to Google how to shut down Windows 8 when I used my brother's laptop.
