Must admit, it's been a few years since I even used those forums for any Windows 7/8.1 advice. At least we still have seven/eightforums. These are my go to forums anyway.

These forums have been infinitely more useful for me than MS'. I found the MS forums to be a waste of my time.

I got some advice and clues from my problem searching on their forums, but a lot of times it's a mixed bag.
