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. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...eview-download I have mine loaded on an empty disk, and plug it in occasionally. I was testing VirtualDub on 8.1 the other day. Paul |

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. Paul |

The softwares that I normally use seem to work as well (or as bad) as with Win7. YMMV |

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...... |
