Windows update/Malwerebytes = f*cked system. What operating system after format?

Hi,

Either one of these possibly both have completely f*cked my system. Thirteen hours in and I am still trying to back up less than 50gb of stuff.

After a full format which operating system would you advice installing? I was going to try Linux but I need adobe software :/

Windows 8.x or?

I've updated all my machines to 8.1 now. Like others I used to hate it but it's very stable,boots up damned quick and feels very nice now.

Do you still have to use metro?

I'd go Linux then use VirtualBox if you absolutely have to use Adobe.

Which distro? I don't want to be messing around with it for hours.

Ubuntu or Mint.
Only thing to say is Ubuntu uses Unity by default now, and it's not for everybody.
Mint (based on Ubuntu) uses Cinnamon, which is a more classic Desktop.
Personally I'd go Ubuntu and install Cinnamon.

im running Windows 8.1 and cant recommend it enough, takes a little getting used too but its solid as a rock for me

8.1 rocks

+1 for 8.1.

Start8 for those that can't get used to Metro.

what was the issue after the update as there is one or two knowing issues with graphics drives and boot up issues with 8.1 but can be quickly resolved

Updated. It looks as if my ssd is on its way out as well so I am currently running chkdsk I'll let you know the results. If it's knackered what ssd should I get?
