Computer Help Please?

Panda accidentally saw itself as a virus and thus rendered the user's computer useless. It has absolutely nothing to do with windows 8.1.

Windows 8 and 8.1 are the worst viruses unleashed on the planet. They have disabled to alternate boot option so you can only reboot Windows 8 off your hard drive. I recommend avoiding at all possible turn.

Windows 8/8.1 have been the best thing that's ever happened to my life.My android apps brought in peanuts. Only when I started publishing in the windows store that the money started pouring in. The revenue from my apps in the windows store effectively gave me a 2nd income making it possible for me to pay my student loans, my boyfriend's tuition (he's still in school), and a new house for us. The revenue from 1 app alone in the windows store pays for my mortgage, property tax, and homeowner's insurance.Simply put, we'd still be living in my parents' basement had it not for windows 8/8.1.Don't know why people hate windows 8/8.1. It's the fastest operating system so far. It's incredibly stable. It boots up in every machine I've tried it on, including old machines from the early 90's.Remember when windows 7 first came out and the internet exploded with angry users who absolutely hated 7 and some predicted fire and brimstone if MS didn't bring back xp's GUI? I wonder if it's the same people who are so afraid of change and continue to demand that MS comes out with another version of windows 7. Might as well make us all go back to the old hammer and chisel with stone tablets system.

Actually, if he feels more comfortable staying with 7, I see no reason to update.

What does dropping support mean? MS dropped support for xp and there are still plenty of people using xp without the sky falling.I'll tell you this much. My company's official OS is still xp because it is run by a bunch of anti-tech old men. It's doing quite well, actually.If you like xp or 7, then stay on it. Just like if you hate laser and gps, then by all means continue to use string lines. Why force the rest of us to stay behind?

Ok, I was right. You are probably a college student with little to no real life experience. I used to sound exactly the same way.

I don't intend to insult. If you feel insulted, I apologize.It's just that I really have no inclination to have an argument with my younger self.It's like trying to have a convo with a young earth creationist. I know they're wrong, but since I used to be a young earth creationist myself I know it's impossible for me to convince them that they're wrong. So, why have a convo at all if everything I say will hit a lead wall?I wish you the best on your endeavor in life.

You need to be careful with this. If there's a female in the room, she might report you for using this word. You could be publically shamed and fired from your job.
