[Trainer-talk] Teaching Windows 8

[Jim Portillo]

Well, here's a question then.  I have an old Del with Windows Vista.  I
really don't want to mess with my good Toshiba using Windows 7.  Can I put
Windows 8 on my Vista machine and begin using it?  I'm leery to make any
moves without first knowing what all is happening with Windows 8.  I hear
mixed reviews.
Thoughts please?
Jim

Open the Quick Access Menu (Windows Key-X). You'll find the Power Options
there.
