I recently purchased a laptop with Windows 8. I attempted to download Wi-Fi connect so I can take advantage of Verizon hotspots. I travel for work so I was looking forward to being able to use it outside of my home. Unfortunately, when I attempted to downoad it I was told my computer is not compatible. Apparently, it's only compatible with Windows 7, xp, and vista. When I called Verizon, I was told that I would have to contact the manufacturer to upgrade my computer. Now, I'm not a computer expert, but what is there to upgrade to from Windows 8? If I switch to 7, vista or xp, isn't that technically a downgrade? When I was shopping for the laptop, I don't think I even came across one that used any of these operating systems....they were all Windows 8.
I'm just suprised that Verizon doesn't keep up with the latest operating systems.
