I want to say something to all the negative reviews here first: people, there is a free trial version of Win 8. Uses this property from Microsoft before you buy something. Here stinginess is horny again, Win 8 for little money in the implementation phase, there will be bought without restraint, without dealing with it beforehand. $$ In the eye and through, will go wrong ... Is it also because many have not engaged in advance with Win 8. Then comes the rude awakening, start button "off" wat nu? Frustration prevails, after a little play around and "non-clear-come" Win 8 is cleaned off the plate and written here a negative review .... What one reads here, as had most of the 1-2 star cry Blinge Win 8 only a few hours on it, if at all ...
I have read many of the 1 and 2 star ratings and 90% of them are reports of frustration because the buyer has not dealt with Win 8 and that did not even afterwards before. Format C's easier ...
There are up Zuum 1:11. a free eBook from Microsoft with 333 pages! Uses of this offer! Then read there first! Watching movies on Youtube, there are plentiful introductions to Win 8 also in German. Since then comes the first AHA :-) Start is not gone, just different, the desktop is still there, not just tiles and if you're of the opinion, it's worth a try, then download the trial version and run parallel to Win 7 and how this version suggests: First TEST.
90 days you have time, as long as it does not need, but you take 1-2 weeks, 1-2 hours a day rich there already and then you can think about buying Win 8 because:
It is more stable, faster, tidier is (if one brings in order, but that does not open up in the first 20 minutes ....). Win 8 makes already fun and it's not just for touch devices that anyway hardly anyone has. The desktop is there, applications can be there as usual store, etc. Apart from the "Start Menu", has not changed much.
Win 8 buys you away no, there is enough of it, believe me, this has always been so :-) There is no reason at all completely unprepared to strike immediately.
Oh, forgot what: Somewhere is here that you can not install Win 8 upgrade cleanly on an empty plate. The course is not true, again someone who has not busy ... You need the previous version, that's right. You start the setup and update version "looks" then if a previous version exists. Logically, therefore, it is cheaper as the full version. If Win 7 was found on the disk, you can then completely normally during installation to delete the partition, format is also sufficient and Win 8 is brought clean the empty partition.
A small downside there: If again sometime pending a reinstall would be only Win 7 installed so that Win 8 upgrade clean passes. One can, however, save: After installing Win 8 you lay a backup of the brand new Win 8 on installation. This backup can then play again if you want to install Win 8 new. This only applies to the upgrade version, who does not want can of course buy a full version and does not have this small restriction, but pays a lot more money, which is actually not necessary.
There is a solution for everything, you just have to search for it or ask if you are not familiar. This is not bad and there is quite good help in forums. Many have complained Win 8 is "hard" off ... If you know where you have the mouse towards one finds it in Win 7 and not "faster" goes: -O You can also the "Off" - Create switch to the desktop as a shortcut or as a "tile", then it's even easier. How to do this tells you google. SOMETHING initiative should bring you, but is not rocket science. That was just one example of many who would like to have his old Start menu back also gets back, on third-party software, if one really wants because. Sense does it however not, Modern UI is already much better, only one has the habit of animal something away from the "old system" :-)
Those who still have an XP, should change, this is really now up getting on in years, but watch out if the then usually associated, somewhat outdated PC it is still suitable. Otherwise prefer tacks, everything is older than four years of hardware would I replace (personal opinion). Fans are ready, the Board zickt ever, the DVD burner is done when, for example is smoked on the PC, especially the hard disk I throw out basically after 3-4 years. Can also each decide for themselves.
Who Win 7 and is satisfied, may well remain on Win 7. We must now not necessarily change. For me it was so that I wanted to set up new win anyway, because Win 8 has offered and it was enough to 5 stars :-)
