Default Upgrade to Win8 from Win7 64bit ultimate.

Is there some sort of Wizard to run to test if my
current hardware & applications will run on
Windows 8 equivalent?

You want the Upgrade Assistant.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...e-to-windows-8

And no, that tool really doesn't have a clue about anything.

But, it offers you a way to generate a list, for further research.
Some of the info is solid, and some, imaginary at best.

Did I mention "imaginary" ? :-)

Don't buy new copies, all at once...

Some stuff really won't run. Such as Windows Virtual PC (used
for WinXP Mode) and Microsoft VPC2007. I think they're blacklisted,
and the OS won't allow them to load. You can install them, but the
instant you try to run the executable, nothing happens.

For the rest of it, you're going to have to test and
see what number less than 72, are busted. In some cases,
it might only be a portion of a program that is broken
(a function you don't use).

*******

Seriously, before you buy a copy of Windows 8, you
should be testing with the Win 8.1 Preview instead.
The license is good to around Jan.15 of next year.

I don't know if the "Upgrade" logic works in here, or if it
is only "Clean Install". In any case, you could grab a spare
disk if you want, and try installing it. If you wanted
to actually install over top of your current disk, make sure you
have a System Image or something, to restore with later.

I have mine loaded on an empty disk, and plug it in occasionally.
I was testing VirtualDub on 8.1 the other day.

As Windows 7 is much better than Windows 8 - why risk it? Are you forced to

The page says, "If your PC is currently running Windows 7, your files, apps,
and settings will easily transfer to Windows 8. If your PC is running
Windows XP or Windows Vista, you'll need to reinstall your apps after you
upgrade."

that's debateable. Are you interested in buying our penile extensions?
We can improve your manhood and your confidence level in using Windows 8.

Thank you. But I'll wait another 12 months or so
before I convert. And I'll do the "Clean install
with a Win8 store disk" even though it will cost a
bit more.

As your finances allow.

I recommend using the Previews, as it's a good way to
evaluate at no risk to you. If you need to test the 72 programs,
this is a relatively easy way to do it. And the license
on the Preview, is good until Jan.15. At that point (or
sooner), you can erase the disk and use it for something
else. As, you've kept your Windows 7 disk *separate* for
later.

Clone your Windows 7 disk, to a blank drive (use System Image
in Windows 7, or even Macrium Reflect). Unplug the
original drive, and then boot the newly cloned drive.
(I generally only like the target disk connected during
an OS install, to prevent accidents.)

Then insert the Windows 8.1 Preview DVD and install over
the clone. The installer should preserve programs, when
going from 7 to 8 (or 8.1). That's what DadiOH said in
his post. After the upgrade is finished, you can remove
the Windows.Old folder that results from such an upgrade,
using one of the options in Disk Cleanup. I think Win 8.1
may have an automated option to do that on its own, so even
if you didn't clean it out, you may notice Windows.Old go
missing around a month later.

My experience indicates that Win8Pro x64 is more stable; same hardware,
upgrade over the top of Win7Pro x64.

I'm not debating the rest of the OS, it's personnal and I have a touch
screen so I cannot really compare how it feels for the users who don't have
one. The softwares that I normally use seem to work as well (or as bad) as
with Win7.

YMMV

One interesting thing about win8 & metro apps (games) is that the metro
games don't have an "exit/close"; have to use the OS to close the apps
just like most of those on a tablet.

e.g. The pinball fx2 game can only be close using win8 whereas the win7
steam & OSX versions have an exit button to close/stop the app. I
think that the android tablet versions also don't have an exit/close
either.

Looks like microsoft want people to buy a touchscreen monitor to run
win8. Question is that I haven't heard anything yet about ms starting
to make/market a touchscreen display......

You can drag the top edge all the way to the bottom of the screen and
that will close the app.
