INSTALL WINDOWS 8
While using the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant,
first thing you have to check is compatibility. When you click on the Download
Pro link, you’ll have the option to download a small “stub” installer. This
small 5 MB file will run a compatibility check on your computer to tell you
which programs will work or not. For installing Windows 8 you have two choices, as follows:
ü Install now or install later
o
For most people, It is recommend to choose Install now for the easy upgrade,
but Install later from your
desktop also works good. If you choose to install later, a shortcut
will be created on your desktop so you can install
the Windows 8 Pro upgrade when it's convenient for you. Or you
can install using your link in email.
ü Install by creating
media
o The second option is
installing by media. It is an advanced installation option which requires a USB
flash drive. For Windows XP SP3, this option is not available.It is recommended
to install this optionfor those who need to install in a virtual
environment, as a dual boot
configuration or need to install Windows 8 on a separate PC.
You install now or wait untill later, Windows 8 setup will get
your PC ready. Take care of each item on the list. As you complete each item,
the list will refresh mechanically.
Once you are done you will be ready to install Windows 8 Pro
upgrade. Now if you need to change anything click on the Back button but if you
are ready click Install.
Now your PC will restart whiles 8 is installing. If you have
Windos 7, your Files/Aps/Settings will easily transfer to Windows 8. If your PC
is running Windows XP or Vista, you will need to reinstall your Aps after you
upgrade.
