Speedy was your move to win8 installed from scratch or did you upgrade ? upgrading is the only time I've seen strange behaviour on win8 and once I install the OS for whoever as a clean slate there are never problems.
he/she doesn't have their own W8 OEM DVD with their own license can be a major problem.
Quotehe/she doesn't have their own W8 OEM DVD with their own license can be a major problem. Sorry but that isn't legal. On a pension or not.
I think you have both misread Speedys post, he offers free help to pensioners, he did not say he was installing free copies of windows for them.
