I did switched to Windows 8, when developer preview was out! :love1 :yay:
i am sick and tired of windows 7 really... xp was my first love but with my hardware i cannot go to xp now... so lets delete windows 7 and go to windows 8....
You can upgrade it and keep the installed softwares and personal files, that you have on Windows 7
it was so hard to make the audio work on it... there are so many programs that do not work properly even with compatibility troubleshooting
This is "PREVIEW" right? It's not for "BETA" testing purpose, once they release "public beta", then you can for sure report bugs and everything related to this particular OS to Microsoft. That's why I said, I'd rather wait for "RTM Build", because I'm limited on bandwidth, other than that I don't wanna go through the hassle of installations, there're plenty more updates to come, it's wastage of time to try "CONSUMER" preview, let other people decide what's good in it and what not.

But why? I have installed windows 7 drivers and everything going perfect! :|

My Windows 8 Preview Experience
Drivers: It is windows 7 friendly, so no issue with drivers. Nearly, all windows 7 drivers may easily install on it.
Compatibility: Not very good with old OS, win7 softwares works but some are not working, even i used compatibility option. Popular Internet security is not compatible like Kaspersky internet security, that i trust alot. However, They will work after final release.
Performance: Very Very Good, Using less ram, gaming, HD video playback awsome. Also window intalls in around 10 minutes.
Looks and Features: The main addition is Metro (A tiled icons start which is replacement of start menu), Task Manager, New Copy and paste window and u may pause and resume your opertaion as well as u can examine the graph of writing speed of drive during opertaion.
Conclusion: I get the impression that the Windows 8 operating system is a native tablet OS and its being "ported" to desktops. What a completely retarded idea this is. The reason I love PCs is because of their complexity. I do not want my desktop dumbed down to the level of a damn smartphone. Windows 8 will be largely irrelevant to the users of traditional PC.

The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lolLegacyGamerGuy said: -

Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.LegacyGamerGuy said: -
L LegacyGamerGuy:Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
