only install Win8 single system problem rarely occurs, promptly appeared relatively easy to solve, such as your C drive is less than 16GB or 20GB (64 Wei Win8 requirements), this problem can go through a lot of software re Partition, modify the total capacity of the C drive, etc.
choose this way also point to note is that you should not install several large programs installed on this computer Win8, nor very important information, if there are removable hard disk, can back up important files, it could not be better!

In advance to divide a 20GB or larger drive letter and format. This letter will choose a convenient to install Win8 go!
above third way is to use a vbox virtual machine to install Win8! If you hand on a computer, space is not very full, working, learning needs and completely off Don't open this computer, and you don't have such a strong desire for Win8, just want to personally try it out, look at the long look! Or the editors of each website need to write tutorials, do tests, etc., convenient screenshots, Install on a computer with a virtual machine. In this case, regardless of success or failure, it will not affect your current system, it is safe enough, but it is also the most likely to fail because of different PC settings.
