Question: How about if I need to install the full version on more than one computer. Is there a version with multiple licenses or can a single purchase deal with multiple installs.
Document: I got windows 8.1 pre-installed on a new computer. I spent the first two hours uninstalling a lot of programs that just weren't any good. There are many free open-source alternatives to the programs that Microsoft charges for.The start menu is gone in this version. When you hit the start menu button, it brings up a screen full of apps and small little purchase suggestions. Fortunately, there is a search box which lets me find Paint and Control Panel.
I like the full version because you have the install disks for 32 & 64 bit. Easy to install plus all of the drivers for my computer hardware were automatically installed (a big plus).
Microsoft Windows 8.1 is a huge improvement over version 8.0 of the operating system. By right clicking the &#34;Windows&#34; button on the lower left of the desktop display, it is possible to get the functionality of the start button of previous versions of Windows. By getting the full version of the operating system, both the 32-bit and 64-bit DVD's are provided giving one a choice over which version to install.
Sort of. This doesn't always work however and when you switch between the included Calendar or Mail app back to the desktop it can seem weird.Perhaps the biggest issue with Windows 8 and one that causes the entire issue people see with the OS is that modern minimalist design does not work well in all cases. Sometimes a more complex or compact design is needed instead of the spacious content driven design Windows 8 embodies. This single issue creates a requirement to transition from Modern to Desktop multiple times.
Some I will need to purchase to get the version that will work with 8.1 $$Some older games won't work.In time it will feel like a &#34;old hat&#34; and go on with life.I can remember back when I was using DOS, then windows 3.1, then 95, & 98 then XP.Who knows what we will be using in 10 years. Go with the flow.
I selected that laptop because I do want a full Windows Desktop to use 95% of the time, or a form of tablet for use the other 5% of the time. I like Windows having both built into one system. But MS made a bit of a mess out of the implementation.I can deal with Windows 8 and 8.1 and the start button thing hasn't bothered me too much, but frankly I'll be happy when the start button resembles the Windows 7 start button in presentation and behavior.
Was very satisfied with the purchase and install of Windows 8.1. I had an older version of Windows 7 which I really liked but got hit with a very bad virus that required resetting the system. I still had some problems after resetting because I had to wait for all the updates to catch up, so buying and installing windows 8.1 completely solved the problem. Thanks so much.
I proceeded to press install... and within minutes, maybe 10? Windows 8 was installed and it asked for wifi info. Plug that in and you're ready to use the computer. Oh you do need a windows account, or at least it asked me to put one in. Luckily my wife had an account already. It shows you as signed in in the top right corner of the home screen.3. Operating system user experience (after one night): So far so good here.
I have used all of the previous versions and have no problem with this new version of Windows. I can see how some might not like certain features but I have found a way around most of the things that were difficult at first to deal with. Install was fairly easy, still worked with an older sound card and older parallel interface card. I have it set up the way I like now and haven't had any problems yet. Boot time is fantastic and I'm not using a SSD yet.
I was very pleased with the install of Windows 8.1 yesterday. So I will keep my commentary to the product as I have experienced it thus far (very little actual usage).1. Packaging/shipping: Seemed fine, it was in one of those bubble wrap lined envelopes. Disks were further protected in sleeves within the cardboard box. Packaging is fairly minimal for once, for a two disk purchase this actually didn't have much else besides the cd key card and a quick install guide.2.
Answer: There used to be a Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack with 3 licenses for $150 but to the best of my knowledge there is no family pack for Window 8.  Each Windows 8 license costs $120 for the Home Edition and $200 for the Pro Edition.  I recommend you contact either Amazon directly or the Microsoft Store at store.microsoft.com for volume licenses.  I just buy Windows 1 copy at a time.
