Windows8 Developer Preview is finally released! Want to know how to download Win8 how to install Win8? Is there a Win8 installation tutorial?

However, Win8 installation is not easy to live, first of all to determine whether the computer can support Win8 (computers that can install Win7

If you want to install on a virtual machine, it is a pity that most of the virtual machines used on the Windows platform cannot be installed (anyway, several colleagues around the author failed to install Win8 on the virtual machine).
