Hi Saqib, I use Windows 8, and while I don't like it I can do most things. What kind of shortcuts would you like to place on the desktop? I find using the following to be useful: 1. Use Windows key + E to get to My Computer quickly. 2. Use Windows key + 1 to get to My Documents quickly. 3. Use the Start screen to search for applications, settings, documents and more. As I said, I don't like Windows 8, but I have used it for 18 months now and it's ok. Don't install the Windows 8.1 update, I find it a little more difficult to use.
