Microsoft have gone and done it again, changed the whole layout and dumped everyone right back into the maze!
Dads brought a new Laptop and hey ho it runs on Windows8....now, first issue is emails
He had Office on the old laptop with Windows7 and that was easy, what we want to do now which should be simple but is proving way harder is registering the new Office reg key online and then trying to install or validate those office programs such as Word, Excel etc...
He uses a personal 'home' email and the domain is NTL WORLD which of course is now Virgin Media, we cant work out how he can continue to use this email when there is no office outlook, we keep getting directed back to Outlook online which handles Hotmail domains too....and upon trying to log in there we keep getting 'account doesn't exist,!!!
Also this new PC looks to be configured weirdly because the C drive is already full!!!! So when i called PC World helpline as this is an area i do not want to mess up they were totally useless and directed me to DiskManagement and was pretty much told to just 'mess around and see what you can do with it'.....
So all in all im pretty < fed up > with this and am looking for some good strong help please....
