I put 8 on and i noticed no difference, i dont push the windows botton so i never use metro...Boot times are ALLOT FASTER...
Im stick in win 7 as it seem that win 8 wee same problems as vista for drivees like for printer,etc.. i still dont like win 8 as it too plain as i prefer win 7 that look nice shiny glass... i may wait for win 9 if microsoft change it mind in next 3 years.. like bring it back some features in w7..
poor reasons tbhIm stick in win 7 as it seem that win 8 wee same problems as vista for drivees like for printer,etc.. i still dont like win 8 as it too plain as i prefer win 7 that look nice shiny glass... i may wait for win 9 if microsoft change it mind in next 3 years.. like bring it back some features in w7..
Good god, please tell me you're not actually Scottish...
It's likely that most of the current drivers for that motherboard would work on windows 8 (when I did the upgrade on my laptop only the graphics and network (LAN and WLAN) drivers were updated from those that were being used at the time), but you might be able to get windows 8 drivers for some of the components on that motherboard through the manufacturers of those components.
I have to admit that the win 8 window theme is a bit more plain and crap than the win 7 aero theme. Win 8 is better though.

I can never understand people that buy hardware from companies that have poor driver support,remember driver support is responsibility of the manufacturer in question not OS,one reason I always go Canon for Printers,their driver support is always excellent,had drivers out within days for Vista,same for Win7 and even for Win8 for my printer,too bad other companies can't get their act together,when I buy hardware I make sure the company has good driver support.
Shame Canon's scanner support isn't as good then. They couldn't be arsed to do 64 bit drivers for their current (at the time) scanners for Vista/Win 7. If I ever bother buying another scanner, I very much doubt they'll be getting my business.
My new laptop came with W8 but I don't like this metro stuff at all!
As to Aero it does nothing useful apart from eye candy,do you buy an OS to look at or to use?..remember also its a battery drain as well so bad for tablet/laptops etc or any portable equipment,glad its gone.
As you guess no driver issues for me and yes I made sure my money over the years went to hardware companies that care about things like driver support.
check to see if your OS is set on UK not US. its in Control Panel > Clock, Language and Region > Regionwell ive been using the enterprise evaluation copy and got a email today to buy it for £24.99 the pro but when I go through it it says im in the wrong country,its Microsoft.uk and im in the uk how does that work then
Ok, so aero theme is bad for battery life? This has to be tosh seeing as the taskbar is see-through. I don't understand why windows can't just offer it on the side like they offer the ghastly high-contrast themes.
Using an OS and looking at an OS go hand in hand. If an OS looked so horrific you didn't like using it then it would impact your usage, likewise if an OS was a nightmare to use it wouldn't make a difference if it was the most beautiful thing ever seen.

They call them themes because you're supposed to be able to change the theme. So offer a choice then.
