Why dies Windows 8 freeze sporadically in various applications while my old laptop works dependably

[AWS]

First, Windows 8 has set me back to square one.  I cannot make heads nor tails of how to use it even after using the demo videos (which freeze sometimes and then close abruptly).  Second, I cannot trust that the new HP PC will let me get through a series

of screens without freezing from time to time.  My old laptop which is dying, is more dependable with Word3 and Windows XP.  I can work faster on the old laptop, which was slowing down due to memory needs.  Still, Windows 8 lets me do half of what I need to

do in double the time.  I wish I could dump this new Operating system and just get XP.  The computer was a gift from my daughters.  I have used computers and Microsoft products for over 25 years.  I learn fast but am no professional.  I am very, very disappointed

in this product.
