W8 was really terrible!( Dead computer- could not resuscitate!) 8.1 was better, but still sucked. Haven’t touched 8.1 laptop in a year and a half now. It should work, though.But there’s no ether cord.
I just don’t do WI-Fi anymore. Except if we want to watch a particular movie or something. Microwave paranoia.
Look it up on you tube.

W/8 was much like XP (but better) if you just used Classic Shell, which is now Open Shell .
