Before sometime, we wrote about Windows 8 developer’s preview, and now the time has come when Microsoft is going to release Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
Windows 8 Consumer Preview soon to be Launched.
Finally Windows 8 Consumer Preview is going to be released in
upcoming days at Mobile World Congress (MWC).The Mobile World Congress
will be held on 29 Feb in Barcelona, Spain.
So, In this article we’ll be discussing some of the tips which needs
to be followed while dealing with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview like
How you are going to deal with the new beta version of Windows 8, What
steps to be followed after downloading the Windows 8 beta version and
many more such things.
The minimum hardware configuration required to successfully operate Windows 8 are:
# 1 GHz Processor
# 1 GB and 2 GB RAM for 32- bit and 64-bit OS respectively
# DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 driver
# 16 GB & 20 GB HDD free space for 32-bit & 64-bit OS respectively
Do not install beta version directly into your main working PC,
instead install it on the less used system in order to check out its
working and features. And in my advice do not try this beta version on
Laptops, Tablets or any other devices as PC have generic drivers that
will make the system operational. Since it is beta version only so need
of experimenting it on your daily working devices.
Also do not try installing Windows 8 over Windows 7, it is preferred
to first format the hard drive and then install a fresh copy of Windows
8. If you still face some problem then it is definitely Windows 8
causing the problem.
Now the Question will arise in your mind: Will Windows 8 install in my system if it does not possess ARM based motherboard?
As we all know, currently there are very few people who have the
possession of ARM based motherboard. So, do not worry about it as it
will not be an issue for you. As it is the beta version it will be
easily installed in any latest configured motherboard. So, your PC
would easily handle Windows 8 beta version. You will be able to access
almost all the features of Windows 8 like Tile interface, reset &
refresh feature and other many more new features. Since Windows 8 is
touch centric so its touch screen options will also work but only on
Touch screen monitor.
