If you are running windows Vista, chances are you are in a hurry to get it off of your systems. But before you rush out and buy here are a few things you need to know:
- What are the system requirements?Any system with the at least 1 GB or RAM, 16 GB of HDD space and a 1GHz processor should be able to handle windows 8. with a 2GB RAM requirement for the 64-bit version. However, prior to downloading you will be informed what is on your systems that is not compatible.
- Should I purchase it or not?
At such a great price, why would you not buy it! Many reviews that I have read give very little negative feed back on Window 8(as far as Windows goes); other than a difficult installation process for the non computer savvy individual. But it really wasn’t all that difficult to work through; and if all else fails and if you are not worried about keeping old files, a fresh install solves all problems.For everyone else I would suggest running windows 8 in Virtual PCprior to switching over completely. As a part of the installation process you will have the option to create an ISO image disc “Install by creating media” You can use this disc for:- Installing on a 64 bit machine
- Installing on other machines
- Installing using virtual machine
- For systems running windows XP
Before you install, go to the Windows 8 Set up utility to see a list of software and hardware currently installed on your system that will and will not work in the window 8 environment.
But if you are not in a hurry to upgrade. waiting on the next release definitely will not hurt you.
At the current price of less than $40, compared to Microsoft’s other releases, I say why not buy.
