Install Windows 8 – Upgrade

November 12, 2012, 16:31(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

win8logo

win8logoThis article covers installing Windows 8 Upgrade.

In the past I’ve never advocated upgrading an operating system. Windows 7 seemed to to a better job than previous Windows versions at an upgrade though it was far from perfect. On my personal computers I’ve attempted 2 true upgrades. I upgraded one without any issues and the PC runs great. One had issues (read: failed) trying to upgrade (see the bottom section of this article). Of course YMMV.
