​Thomas, this is a tad off-topic, but since you mentioned that «Windows 8.1​

​(= a nightmare !!!)»​, I thought I'd suggest two simple steps to tame the
beast :

   1. Install Classic Shell from *classicshell.net
   <http://classicshell.net>* (elect the Windows 7 interface and change the
   start button), and
   2. Deactivate the superfluous Lockscreen by following the steps found
   here :

While not, alas, quite as good as dumping Windows altogether and
installing, e g, Linux Mint 17.1 instead, it should suffice to turn those
nightmares into relatively sweet dreams. I know it has for many retirees
here in Stockholm whom we help with computer problems....
