A few questions about that. Is a 8 gig usb big enough to give it a whirl? If I use that can I run it without making changes to my windows 8.1? If I try it and don’t like it does it leave any lasting changes on my computer? I admit I’m not an advanced user. Clueless would be a lot more descriptive of my abilities.

Yes, absolutely.

If I use that can I run it without making changes to my windows 8.1?

If you use a Live USB like I suggest above, it won't make any permanent changes.

If I try it and don’t like it does it leave any lasting changes on my computer?

A live USB stick like I describe won't make any permanent changes to your computer.

The only change you MIGHT have to make is in your BIOS to change which order your computer looks for a bootable drive. If you can post your computer model number, I can see if it is necessary and if so, tell you exactly step-by-step how to do it.

I'm not saying that this is for literally everybody. But it doesn't take a PhD in CSci like a lot of people claim.
