In the menu, there's something called desktop. Open it, it's kinda like window's 7. That's what I am using.

There is no start menu either..

I want to try something new ^^

My dad got it and he thinks it looks more stylish xD

But does it make your start-up going faster or something?

Windows 7 is still good enough. Don't get 8 until you have to. :p

1. Start menu is different, but desktop is still the same you have at windows 7. Its made specially for touch screen computers.
2. Maybe if you find it useless you will regret.
3. Probably yes, windows 8 is built from scratch and needs Windows 8 programs, some programs of old windows still work.
4. I had it and i liked but its not useful yet, it have alot of applications that are useful only if you use a touchscreen computer.

Hell no it will not make your PC faster, you will need more requirements to meet to use windows 8. Btw if your windows 7 is slow then windows 8 will be more slow.

Minimum hardware requirements for Windows 8
Architecture: IA-32 (32-bit)   x86-64 (64-bit)
Processor: 1 GHz (with PAE, NX and SSE2 support)
Memory (RAM): 1 GB (32-bit)    2 GB(64-bit)
Graphics Card: DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Storage: 16 GB (32-bit)   20 GB(64-bit)

Win 8 its not for pc's, win 8 was made for tablets and smartphones, because allot of games dont run on it, if you want to upgrade  dont do it, win 8 in pc is a fail, keep the win 7, its the best, or xp in a old pc.

Made for iPhone/iPad? Did you know that iPhone/iPad are using their own operating system? iOS?


Only other shitty tablets use Windows 8.

lol iphone and ipad uses their own operating system made by apple. Windows 8 is made for tablets that require an operating system and are not made by apple :|

Wouldnt it be akward for apple using windows in their tablets?

I suggest you staying in the windows 7. Next windows products will probably kneel forwards to this touch shit.
