I finally stumbled around enough and got the pics from my galaxy tab to upload the pics to this new crappy computer, now the issue is how do post pics here or ahywhere. When I'm in the photos it gives me almost zero options, none of which I can do anything with. Right click, left click here a click click..nothing. Very frustrating. Has anyone else gone through 8.1 hell and live to know anything about it?

Open your browser.
Go to: https://imgur.com/
Press the blue upload button near the top of the page. Find the image you want to post on your computer and select it to upload.
When it is finished uploading on the right hand side of your image will be a bunch of links. One of them is the correct code to paste the image directly into a message board like this one.

Been sp long since I've posted any pics off my computer, I completely forgot I had to upload to a different site THEN post here(or wherever). DUH. Thanks Mal. I still can't pics off my phone on here, so irritating. I like the ol' point and click days.

you could send the pics from your phone, via email to your pc, than upload and etc.

the long way around, but would work.

If you have a smart phone with a web browser you could also go to https://imgur.com/ and use the same procedure to upload the pics from your phone.

I hate windows 8.1. I too am a point and click guy. I solved my problem by using classic shell. It makes windows 8 look and act like old windows. It is free.

Give it a try https://www.classicshell.net/

Maybe when we get our free upgrade to Windows 10 our problems will be solved.
