Windows 8 upgrade from RP

[rridgely]

I just wanted to let you guys know if you build a new pc(or have a pc without windows) you can use the windows 8 release preview to get the $40 upgrade price. I just did it with the pc I built yesterday. I installed the preview build and used the windows 8 upgrade assistant(on MS Store) to do a clean install of windows 8. Worked very well and super easy.

Windows 8 flops on my netbook.

 

Not touch screen, & it complains about my screen size.

Desktop has no touch screen, either.

 

So, it's a dead fish.

 

I'm glad it was just as easy to revert to 7.

Something that worked.

This topic wasn't about windows 8 complaints. I was just trying to tell people who wanted to get Windows 8 cheaper how to do it. I got windows on a new custom built pc for $40. Simply an amazing deal.

Thanks! I am looking forward to the full release of ReactOS myself.

 

Free Windows "clone" that is gradually adding emulation support for XP/running Windows programs, etc.

 

Good that 8's only $40, seeing the predecessors that were in the hundreds...
