Windows8 installation process to enjoy

Regardless of the type of installation, you must first download the system image of Win8. Users can directly click on the download link below to enter the Win8 download home page. Here, I recommend downloading 2.8G Windows 8 Developer Preview English (32-bit) first.

Before installing Win8, first understand the system requirements of Windows 8:

Windows 8 Developer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7 (Win8 system requirements with Win7 Same as Vista)

#1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor (1G or higher CPU)

# 1 GB RAM (32 -bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) (minimum 1G memory, 2G or more recommended)

# 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) (system Disk above 16G)

# DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver (Direct 9 or higher graphics card)

# Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch ( If you want to use the touch function, you need a display that supports touch.)

The first method to install Win8 —— install directly in Win7!

Installing Win8 directly in Win7 is The easiest way. In a word, use the decompression tool (fast press, WinRAR, etc.) to extract the Win8 iso image file to a non-system disk (C drive), and then double-click "Setup".

In order to let everyone know the whole process of Win8 installation, the picture will be a bit more (40+).

The second method of installing Win8 —— the original CD installation Win8 method

If you can not install the upgrade installation in Win7 or XP, or only a new computer, then only The Win8 method can be installed using the original original disc.

The first step is to burn the Win8 iOS image to a CD or write to a USB flash drive. Choose one of the two methods, which will not be described in detail here.

Off-topic

In the process of installing Win8, it is inevitable that there will be any accidents, such as a blue screen window, such as the card can not move in a certain part, such as the trouble that no one else has encountered. Anyway, no matter how unsatisfactory, let's calm down and see what step is wrong and then think about it.

Win8's blue screen is not all code that N people can't understand

Written in the end

If you are a stable user, it is recommended not to work at your own pace. Win8 is used on the computer, because Win8 is still in the developer preview, and it is not in the Beta stage. Colleagues excited to install Win8 directly, the result is because Win8 often has problems, so there is Win7 installed on the basis of Win8, playing dual system.

If you are a software enthusiast who is pursuing new technologies, hurry and download Win8 to play.
