Re: [WIN8] Who is buying Windows 8?

If you want to save one step, you could click that Ethernet next to Connections: instead of Change adapter settings. =p

Also Start > search > cmd works fine here. Also hitting Windows key then typing cmd > enter works fine also.

Nothing happens when clicking/right-clicking the connection.

And how did you get to that screen? Right click network adapter by the clock and choose "Open Network and Sharing Center" right? Right?

That's not what the issue is...in Win7 you would left click the adapter and choose "Open Network and Sharing Center"

Now in Win8, when you LEFT click the network icon by your presented with a Flyout menu with the ability to join Wireless networks but UNABLE to edit your wired OR wireless connections from this menu. Why?

Also, what ever happened to "Manage wireless networks"???

RIGHT, like i said you could save ONE STEP - by going to the red box instead of Change your adapter.

Left click? Right click? Does it matter? It's one click.

As for "Manage wireless networks" -> See this link. »www.7tutorials.com/how-m ··· indows-8

You'd want to click "Forget this network" if you want to reestablish the wireless network with different passcodes/encryptions. Much FASTER than Windows 7's Manage Wireless Network.
