Second, the Windows 8.1 Chinese Input Method and English IME switch is awkward, as Windows 7 o'clock switch convenient.
I am now using third-party software to intercept changes to the input method switch, improved, but still not as good as the Windows 7 Input method switch handy.
Third, Windows 8.1 is too new, some software and games have not yet been updated to support the Windows 8.1 operating system.
