Compatible with my computer

I have an older model Dell laptop running on Windows Vista. It was nice but I could see the need to get a new Dell with Microsoft Windows 8 Professional Upgrade because in the not to long future the Vista will be no longer cared for. So I thought. The computer is still speedy so why buy a new one when I could upgrade to Windows 8 pro. I did and what a difference. Comes up right away and is easy to work with. The Vista was compatible to be upgraded with this purchase and the cost was very small to other Windows 8. I would recommend this to everyone who may need it.

I had it for few minutes

I bought this to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows XP, and it worked. I can't speak to the quality of Windows 8 since I only had it for a few minutes. This is the pro version, so you will get the pro version of Windows 10, which includes Remote desktop. That is pretty great because I used this on my desktop which functions as a server for my content around the house. I can now login remotely from my laptop with the Home version of Windows 10 and manage the desktop computer as if I were sitting in front of it.

I am happy I upgraded

I'm happy I upgraded. I appreciate how Windows 8 integrates with other programs (such as facebook and email) and with xbox. Its now very easy to share information and communicate with others. I also think Windows 8 excels with the news app, you can easily customize it for what you like to read (hundreds of news sources) and its also easily readable. Another place I noticed significant improvement is in the full system searches; from the tile page you can search for anything and then it brings up a search page and you choose where you want to search. This is very nice and fast. Much improved from Windows 7. I will admit that at first I didn't know where to start, as much of this above requires you go onto the app store and customize your pc/tablet and there was not a lot of information available to help assist me with this. I found the following apps to be necessary for me; one note, facebook, im+, fresh paint, windows 8 hotkeys, any games you like, and netfilx/entertainment apps. I think they are on the right track for the future. Very nice upgrade, but a bit pricey.
