Thread: My new computer is finally all set up!!

Hi

I forgot how much work it is to really start over with a new computer.
But I think I have everything installed and set up.

It took longer because I started off using the Metro interface, but I finally gave up on it and did things the way I'm used to.

Here's my desktop.
I run virtually everything from here.



Here's how my Rocker Dock Bar is set up.


Games Section.


Computer Maintenance.


Graphics and Animation.

That pretty much takes care of everything.
I can access 98% of what I need right from there.

The Jug of Junk, and the Flask of Files is where I store stuff temporally before moving it to someplace else or deleting it.

One click on the Start Button and I can see everything that is on my computer all in one place. But with folders so it isn't spread all over the screen.

I can work back and forth from program windows to the desktop instantly and I can have multiple windows open.

The programs that I want to have available when I have a window open, like Word, Chrome, Agent Ransack, Skype, the Snipping Tool etc, go on the Task Bar.

Well that's it for now.

Mike, Make sure you create an Image ASAP. I also create new Images after each patch Tuesday Update. Also, have you tried File History? Very nice for syncing data. Since my data needs are minor I only run it at the same time I create an Image, and store the File History backups on the same Ext. HD. This works very well.

Hyper V is a let down. Don't bother. If you really want virtualization use VMware or another 3rd party app.
