Hi

I have win 7 home...I, play a lot of games, not high graphic stuff.......AMD HD6530D on board...no touch screen.... is it worth the upgrade?:eek:
 
There is no sense to upgrade to 8, there is no sense in it. Windows 8 is more designed for touch screens and tablets.
 
Windows 8 has a lot of performance increases which is why I bought it today and why I'm in the middle of upgrading right now.
 
Finished upgrading to Windows 8, turns out doing a clean install over the old Windows 7 installation (don't format) went through without any errors. And I'm liking it a lot, lower RAM usage, faster boot times, and stuff.
 
For 40 bucks...i think the price is not bad at all...especially if your running vista or XP, but i dont see reason to go from 7 to 8.

Okay , I was going to pay the 40 dollars last night and upgrade. Figured I might as well get used to it since I work in IT support and im sure people from work will be upgrading/ buying new computers.

So upgrading is a total bust? When upgrading is it like Wubi? I mount the image and it upgrades with a "Partitioned boot" while running win7 or do I need to write the iso to a DVD and boot from it.

I figured for 40 dollars it was worth learning and upgrading. I do play a lot of Games on Steam/ video editing etc.

No it doesn't partition the drive, it moves Windows 7 into a folder named Windows.old and then installs. I installed from a USB flash drive by the way.

It might not fail to upgrade normally for you.
