Considering the upgrade to Windows 8.1 – a few queries here.
Hey there, here are your questions rephrased:
- Should I opt for a complete installation or just an OEM copy when switching from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1?
- Do you recommend getting a full copy or an OEM version for this upgrade?
- I’m planning to replace my motherboard and CPU later, maybe after the Windows switch. Which one should I choose?
- Does Adobe Creative Suite function well on Windows 8.1?
- Is Windows 8.1 significantly better than Windows 8?
- Are Microsoft Live features optional, or do I need an account to access them?
- How does an SSD perform differently in Windows 8.1 compared to Windows 7?
- Are there older games that still work on Windows 7 but not on Windows 8.1?
- Where can I find affordable genuine Windows 8.1 copies?
- Is it worth upgrading from a pirated Windows 8 to a legitimate version?
- Should I consider a Windows 7 install first and upgrade later to Windows 10?
- What are the main drawbacks of Windows 8.1?
I've stayed smooth since switching from pirated WIN7 to genuine 8.1—no problems at all. Only reinstalled once after a big system upgrade. If you're unsure, grab one here: http://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwar...ice_visio/ I bought Office 2013 and it's fully trustworthy.
Are you experiencing network problems? Connecting to Wi-Fi often causes slow speeds.
Based on my view, one issue doesn't matter much. Two things are better than none. Three points stand out: if you disconnect the internet during installation, it's optional. Windows 8.1 boots faster without it. Seven games function properly. Eight is a good number to look around. I tried it and it worked, though I faced some hiccups. Nine is Metro... Pffff, that took a bit of effort haha.
I connected via Wi-Fi, but that’s strictly forbidden in Diablo III Hardcore. One tiny break could mean the difference between life and death.
I’d prefer to avoid /r/microsoftsoftwareswap. Most keys aren’t meant for resale. Many are student-focused or intended for PC makers. It’s not quite as severe as piracy.
