Windows 8 what do I need? 11/08/2012
This article was written to remind my followers to plan for a Windows 8 upgrade. First reason why is simple for those of us with Vista systems especially and did not upgrade to Windows 7 it is a cheap way to get rid of the excuse it’s Vista. Upgrades to the Pro version are only $69.99. As I stated in earlier blogs cheaper than any OS upgrade in most of Microsoft’s history. If you bought your windows 7 machine in the middle of the summer or later it is only $14.99 for a downloaded version.
Next why Windows 8, why not?
If you own a table/convertible then Windows 8 will transform your experience completely. While I am not fully emerged in Windows 8 yet, I will say on my Acer Table it is pretty cool.
So what are the minimum requirements to upgrade or install “8”
- CPU 1GHZ or Faster
- Ram 1GB for 32 Bit
2GB for 64 Bit
Suggested minimum for more advanced users 2GB and up. - Disk Space 16GB for 32 Bit
20GB for 64 Bit - Graphics DirectX 9 capable video
- Min Res 1024×768
1366×768 for “Snap” Applications
Windows has a upgrade assistant on their download site that can identify issues and software conflicts if you choose to do an upgrade.
The techies here would suggest checking Windows 8 out for yourself there a good, bad and ugly things to be discovered but first you have to see it. Check out our Shop EW2 Computers in Tarpon Springs and our site www.end2endsupport.com or www.weworkoncomputers.com.
