Not bad. Not bad at all.

Seems you got most of the basics covered, should probably start backing up though

I'm not sure what i should use for that..... Any suggestions?

Macrium Reflect is a highly recommended, and I believe Windows 8 has a pretty good built in backup tool

Is "Macrium Reflect" any good?

I agree,a backup is crucial.I would recommend Aomei Backupper here http://www.backup-utility.com/free-backup-software.html or from Paragon,backup&recovery 2014 free here http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/
Both are freeware and you can't go wrong with neither of them.

I'm sure the software for back up recommended by Jcwsgod & JoeBlack are excellent, & wish I'd heard about them before having to refresh our Windows 8 system back in December! I've been using a 495 MB external drive (memory stick) to back up our system since then. There was a funny coincidence today, and I'd needed to use that memory stick to keep the portable 64 Bit Cyberfox browser to which I've just finished adding many, though not all, of some of your favorite extensions! So, the files for our Windows 8.1 are currently backed up in a folder on an older Windows XP sp3 desktop screen! Thanks for sharing your configuration too Fantasy!

Here's a great yet simple backup software you might want to have a look at.... AX64 Time Machine

Good config.. I agree with above, some form of back up, whether you use something like windows built in, or a external HD to do so.

I'm not saying Windows 8.1 features are better (or worse), but I'm providing an alternate to third-party software.

Cyberfox is the best..... This is the best browser that works on my system.
