New Windows 8 reportedly set for October debut


Microsoft reportedly will finish work on new Windows 8 by summer, setting the stage to launch the next version of its flagship operating system sometime around October.
Bloomberg, citing "people with knowledge of the schedule," also reports that there will be fewer than five devices running the ARM system on a chip architecture at launch. Those ARM chips allow for thinner, lighter tablet devices, something that Microsoft hopes will help it cut into Apple's iPad's huge lead in the tablet market. The Cupertino rival just disclosed that it sold more than three million of its latest iPad since the third-generation gadget debuted Friday.
The report confirms the timing that most analysts have been expecting. Bloomberg notes that Microsoft will lay out the details of the release schedule at an industry event in early April.
A Microsoft spokeswoman declined comment on the report.
Last month, Microsoft said it planned to launch a version of Windows 8 on ARM chips at the same time it launched Windows for the x86 chips that power traditional PCs. In a blog post at the time, Windows President Steven Sinofsky said "Our collective goal is for PC makers to ship [Windows on ARM devices] the same time" as more conventional Windows PCs debut.

This is an upgrade so you'll be overwriting your current version of Windows but before you make the leap, note that your existing program programs will only be preserved in the event you are moving from Windows 7 to Windows 8. If your PC is jogging Windows XP or Vista, all of your files & information will be preserved but you won't be able to make use of the program apps after upgrading to Windows 8.

Let's say your existing Windows computer is jogging XP, Vista or Windows 7 & you require to upgrade to Windows 8.

Step 1: Insert the bootable Windows 8 DVD in to your computer, switch to the DVD drive inside Windows Explorer & click two times the setup.exe file.

Step 2: Windows 8 installer will recommend that you "install updates" before proceeding with the installation. You can actually say "No thanks" and skip because, as of writing, there's no updates obtainable and hence you'll save a couple of minutes.
 Step 3: Enter you Windows 8 Product key – you can use NF32V-Q9P3W-7DR7Y-JGWRW-JFCK8.
Step 4: Accept the EULA and select the part of your existing Windows setup that you like to preserve in Windows 8. You can either do a neat install and select "Nothing" or use the "Windows settings, personal files and apps" option to preserve everything.
Note that you might must reinstall positive apps after Windows 8 is installed. Also, in case you select "Nothing", your personal files (anything saved inside the User folder and on the desktop) will be moved to a windows.old folder.

Step 5: Windows 8 installer may want you to uninstall certain applications – Microsoft Security Essentials for example – before proceeding. One you have done that, restart the PC and hit the Install button. You can re-install these applications once the installation is complete. Simple!
