I needed it to power up a laptop I got at a yard sale for $5. It had Windows 7 on it (and all her info) and it just couldn't connect to the internet with the version of browser already installed. Windows 10 would have been too much for it to handle and Windows 8 fit perfectly. I have a bunch of older 32 bit games including a great bridge game no longer available anywhere due to the developer closing shop. And installing it was like this: insert the disc, restart the computer, come back after about twenty minutes. That's all. Easy peasy. To conclude: if you get a laptop at a yard sale, you should seriously consider Windows 8 for it.

In my opinion Windows 8 is not much different from Vista in that the upgrade was forced on the general public without Microsoft thinking about the impact the changes would have on the computer world. Windows 8 was not designed for use on a desktop system and was ultimately designed for touch screen. While the operating system is more reliable, I have had to resort to the use of 3rd party software to make windows 8 functional on a desktop computer. Windows 8.1 does not have a startup disk (needed for repairs) as the result of being downloaded to upgrade windows 8. I believe Windows 8 is best described as another learning opportunity.

Originally installed vista on my computer from the time I bought it was no longer being supported. Saved me $100's buy upgrading to windows 8, as its still a great functioning computer. Guess I procrastinated because if something works ,why change it..I'm glad to have the upgrade and its a smooth install that transferred all my saved files. So getting used to a new format platform wasn't too difficult. Thank you again..

Package was as described, Win8Pro full install, sealed package, with proper key. Upgrade from Win7 was easy but had problems with updates. Update errors that I could not fix. Without certain updates you cannot upgrade to Win8.1Pro. I did a full backup of my data and performed a full install of Win8Pro. Afterward the updates worked and I was able to load 8.1Pro. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Upgraded to Windows 10 - a terrible experience and my version of Windows 8.1 and was not 8 pro, and therefore not able to roll back option through Windows update to a previous version. to make matters worse I had a complete crash with no disc to a full restore. This product is Windows 8.0 pro, arming me "with the option" of a roll back from Windows 10. Yes i am back to the current version of Win 10 - but I have the power to rebuild my PC any time I want with the freedom to restore anytime i see fit...Worth every dime.
