I bought a new laptop with windows 8 and I click on the start screen tile with the lovely water and rocks waterscape - it takes me to the windows desktop where I then click on the explorer on the left side of the taskbar - it takes me to the msn homepage from which I can access each of my email accounts just as they were on my old laptop.
I also bought windows 8 for dummies at barnes & noble which provided a wealth of info for learning a new operating system AND I now attend the computer and computer plus meetings - you can't beat the info and assistance you can receive there!
