Want a new laptop but do I want Windows 8?

Well, my son-in-law pretty well explained why my laptop is slower than my desktop; just one of those things to be expected, I reckon.

So is IE-11 installed and working on your W-7 desktop now?
I was wondering if you had to do the reduced security thing on it to get into your credit union account?

Nope, it just shows an update "pending" so I'm not in any hurry. But I do think it will be interesting to see what it does for my credit union account. Incidentally, anyone can go to my credit union's hone page: https://www.citycu.org/ and the problem I had was when I'd click on "Online Banking". It would give me that error message before I entered Username and Password. And my son-in-law said he got the same error message, so I'm guessing it's and IE11 vs. IE10 thing, but you can try it and see what happens.

FF, no problem. Even with NoScripts on.. which disables JavaScript..

IE11, on the other hand, shows a JavaScript error.. Until I do a 'Compatibility View'. Sounds definitely like the CU's problem..

Question: could you still log in with the error msg showing?

Bird,
I had no problem getting in using my windows 7 laptop with IE-11 installed.
I'll try the 8,1 machine as soon as I send the bank address over there, unless my wife grabs me
to trim hooves first.

Bird,
On the W-8.1 pc I got the same as Midniteoyl said.

I think I read somewhere that the IE-11 for W-7 didn't have as much security built in as IE-11 in 8.1.

So you definitely need to keep bugging your bank. They say at the bottom, of the page they are compatible with windows
7 and higher, so keep them to their word.
You can't have too much security when it comes to money.

A few hassles? Then I wonder why I should do it?:D IE10 is working just fine.

ps.. 99.9999% of the 'hassels' i mnetioned were with actually downloading the installer. I had to end up doing a save as and then run seperate. not a run, or save and run auto. neither of those 2 would work. would poop out after a few seconds...

the 3rd attempt with t he save as worked.
