First...it's "Hotline1" not 'Hotwire1', but that's OK!!
Most of the day, playing with the laptops. I got the 'basic' Win 8 updates installed firstoff, after finding the right place to look & act.
That was 50+ updates, and it took a bit. No fires, explosions, etc.
Then click on the 'Store' & wow....update to 8.1 for FREE.
Click, click, read, click, & wait.....
Blue screen, blending to yellow, green, purple, orange, etc. Then....black, and wow...it's updating things (for a while) But...painless.
Then, where did all the programs go? Darn it, had to re-install, and call a few for passcodes again.
OK, mostly everything I need is back in, some additional tweeks as time goes on. Bless the file backup HD.
As I get more comfortable, I see 'clouds' 'skydrive' & a bunch of stuff that will probably have to be deleted.
If that Toshiba update popup comes back, there's no way in hex that I will do that again.
Scott35, seriously...Thank You for the direction. You must have sore typing fingers after that!!
