Jim, I frankly confess that I do not understand the vehement objections to Windows 8+. As soon as I figured out how to sidestep the tile-UI, everything provided has proved way better than Win7 (although I still run Win7 on my tower). I've configured both laptop and desk-tower to recognize the shared drives on both boxes, and on the Win 8.1 laptop I never see the tiles UI, so I really don't see the problem. It's drop-dead simple to bypass the tiles-UI and after that, the W8.1 is way better than any previous Winstallation. I just don't get all the whining and bitching about Win8+. As far as I'm concerned, it's way better than previous editions. Mind you, I have set it up to mostly ignore the tiles UI, and that is drop-dead simple to implement, but once having got there, the 8.1 implementation far outclasses all previous implementations, IMO.
