Computer problems

SO my computer died on Monday.  I got a new one, but it has Windows 8 and I just can't work half the stuff on it.   Yesterday my son downloaded Firefox instead of internet explorer and this is the first time I have been able to log in all week.  I still can't print from my email or a web page as the computer does not recognize my printer as a printer .  It is an "unspecified device".  
I don't know why anyone would be excited about a new computer.  Transferring files, downloading programs and apps, trying to find buttons you used to use that aren't there anymore...installing new hardware.   Ugh.  I hate it all.
For those of you who sent me hugs and notes this week thank you so much.   I am sorry I haven't responded to journal entries and such.   Hopefully using Firefox is going to get me back online.  Hugs to all.

I hope you have luck with the 8.. I was told to stay clear of it but everyone is different. If you can get it changed out, I hope you can. It sounds like you are getting the hang of it though. Hugs GB
