Returning to Windows after mac
Hi,
I am a returning windows user after using mac for a few years. Mac was great, stable and no virus problems, but now I'm seeing that the benefits are outweighed by the cons - mostly being a part of apple's empire.
Lack of gaming ability, hardware upgrade, issues with mac support in general (I couldn't even buy a proper charger for my macbook anymore. Simple stuff). So I have decided to get back to windows.
I purchased an Acer Laptop from Newegg.
I have some general questions as this is windows 7 and not windows xp like I was used to using, and I was hoping I could get some answers here.
Questions:
- Is there any way to set the Start Menu, Windows Explorer and Control Panel Screens to classic view? I don't see a default option by right clicking the screen or the taskbar.
- Is AVG still the one of the best free antivirus? Should I get something else?
- I am trying to partition the HD so that I have a smaller C: with windows and about 100gb for software. I want to make another D drive for games and an E drive for multimedia. IT won't let me shrink the C: drive on a 450gb partition under 220gb. So I have a rather large c: still which I do not want. Any way around this?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you
