Doesn't really help unless you're running 64-bit apps. Whatchoo got for a web browser?
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what 8 is designed for... it's more of a replacement for Windows CE.
I installed my copy of Windows 8 Pro on my computer. I messed around with it for a few minutes... other than the fancy new Start screen, the Desktop looks and functions exactly like Windows 7. It's just an extra step to get to it.
I have to find one for my wireless NIC. Everything else looked okay.
Just as I thought... my Windows 7 drivers work with Windows 8.
I haven't used Vista since it came out. We're using 7 Enterprise at work and I'm pretty comfortable with it.I'm not seeing a lot of differences so far... it does run a lot smoother than the XP install I was using.
I replaced the 32-bit version with the 64-bit version. Very nice.
So which software were you able to run with the 64-bit that you couldn't run with the 32-bit?
Doesn't matter, the whole OS... 32 Bit can only utilize 4GB of memory, while 64 Bit can utilize up to 128GB. Not saying any one would ever need 128GB in a personal machine, but there is a big difference. Especially with the memory intensive OS, programs, and games now a days.
