14 DAY TRIAL // The confusion created by Windows 8 after launch made many people stay away from the modern operating system, but now that 8.1 is on the market, Microsoft and partners have started a campaign to bring back consumers.
HP, for example, launched a new website called “The Buzz” that comes to lend a hand to users who have a hard time discovering Windows 8 and 8.1.
The new webpage comes with basically all the info you would need to make the most of Microsoft's modern operating system, packing guides, tutorials, in-depth descriptions of the built-in features, and apps that could help you improve your overall experience with Windows 8.1.
“The new Windows has arrived, and it has people talking. You'll find the 411 on Windows 8 right here. Browse HP and industry articles, watch videos, learn about new features and discover all the ways people are getting the most out of the new Windows,” HP says in the official description of the website.
An article called 8.1 reasons to go with Windows 8.1 comes to present the main improvements that Microsoft made in the operating system update, explaining that users looking for a new operating system should clearly go for this one.
“When Windows 8 launched last year, it flipped the script on how you look at your desktop – and your Start button. Now, with the big, recent update to Windows 8.1 there are a LOT of reasons to like what’s new,” the company said before going on to introduce the new Start button to readers.
“With the new Windows, the Start button has returned (sort of). Look on the bottom left corner of the screen, and you will see a Windows logo. Clicking on it (or the Windows key on your keyboard) will take you right into the streamlined Windows 8 Start screen. Click it again to go back to Desktop mode.”
HP is one of the companies that are still betting big on Windows 8 and 8.1, even though many Microsoft partners decided to stop the development of tablets running Windows RT and concentrate all efforts on the full version of the operating system.
