    Windows 8 interface

    My son is at Uni and just bought a new desktop PC, but hates the Windows 8 interface.

    Is there anyway to get a Windows 7 type interface with Windows 8?

    Cheers

      Thanks, sorry think I screwed up the text in the +ve rep.

      But hey it's the thought that counts. :-)

        Not to worry. FWIW I didn't do an extensive trial but Pokki worked for me.

                He's ended up using Classic Shell.

                  What in God's name is this interface all about? FFS.

                    +1 for Classic Shell. Only on a VM for testing I'll never install it on a prod machine.
