The OEM System Builder DVD was fine, and the installation went without a hitch on the new computer I built a couple months ago, but as far as Windows 8 or 8.1 itself goes, I don’t know what Microsoft was thinking.
Desktop users need a desktop operating system. Not this bloated mess with a default UI that only shows one application at a time, and which ends up in Desktop mode most of the time anyway because almost nobody’s writing Metro apps.
On both my current and the new system, I have it loaded up with Stardock add-ons, so as to eliminate as much of the Windows 8 ‘Metro/Modern/whatever’ UI as humanly possible. Amazingly, MS still didn’t get it about the Start button. No, you dolts! We wanted the Win 7 start pane back, not to be hauled over to your stupid 2d user-antagonistic scrolling ‘start’ screen.
Personally, I thought Windows 7 Pro was fantastic. If you have that, stick with it as long as you can. Maybe one day Windows 8 will be consigned to the same dank, forgotten basement as Microsoft Bob.

Got it way before estimated time. Installed without a hitch and the product key was accepted by Microsoft. All good!

Ho acquistato questo prodotto convinto di ricevere un CD con Windows 8.1. Consegna prevista, da una settimana ad una ventina di giorni. Dopo quasi un mese ho ricevuto per posta una busta con un messaggio che riportava un numero di codice MICROSOFT, NIENTE CD. Sembra che la vendita riguardi appunto un numero di codice e basta: sta a voi scaricare Windows. Ho chiesto di cancellare l’ordine, ed Amazon ha provveduto con la consueta rapidità .

First product I received was Windows 7 32-bit… I was rather happy and impressed with how quickly I was awarded a replacement. I received the incorrect product Thursday and here it is Monday and I just received the replacement. I am thoroughly disappointed however, to have received Windows 7 64-bit. That’s twice I received the wrong product… Third times the charm? No thanks… My review of Windows 8.1 is for 3.5 stars (good for a Windows product), (yes I’m a hater but my business requires it). I would much prefer a Linux distro like Fedora… why the world caters its products to Microsoft is beyond me. I would not be surprised if I went along and tried to install this, to find that its some UK version or that the activation key is invalid as so many others have complained about. What a joke. Microsoft is so full of themselves they are almost as bad as Apple. They make you jump through hoops to get their product working and the world sends you some hacked up copy of it anyway. Nice protocol. It’s a thousand times easier to download a cracked copy of it off some torrent site than it is to be legitimate about using it. Time to start looking at other vendors for this, tired of playing these games. Oh and my seller is named “Amazon.com Services, Inc” probably in no way affiliated with Amazon… what a joke.

This is a comprehensive package for those who build and sell systems. This solves the problem of how to customize a new machine to a customer’s needs, desires and preferences.
However, there is a learning curve, which Microsoft, albeit a bit clumsily, addresses with its Technet services. Sometimes it takes a while to find the answer I need, but then there is the good ol’ bookmark! Once I find the answer it goes on the bar.
I like the fact that I am given a standard OEM license with its attendant restrictions. This gives end-users the option of choosing whether to keep or modify their installed package through Microsoft.
As for Windows 8.1 itself, I love it. I had 7, and thought that was a quantum leap from XP, the last system Gates and Co. should acknowledge before 7. Unfortunately, my computer crashed, and I had misplaced my original disc. The price of Windows 7 was prohibitive – especially when compared to this new animal on the shelf. As a retooling 50+ year-old student – and adventurer – I figured what the heck.
I liked it from the beginning, although there were many things that I found counterproductive and frustrating. The shutdown button was a huge one. I felt like George Jetson when I wanted to shut down or restart the computer – “Jane! Jane! Get me off of this crazy thing!!! Jane! Jaaaane!”. I never did that, because my wife’s name is not Jane.
Coincident to a call to tech support regarding a licensing issue, I learned that 8.1 had been released. I was just starting to learn that the difficulties with Windows 8 I was experiencing were characteristic and not due to lack of experience or mastery of the new system. 8.1 really solved a lot of the problems. Frequent subsequent updates, some major, some minor, have improved facility and functionality tremendously.
If you are a frustrated XP user wondering if you should go to 7 or 8.1, I highly recommend the latter. It is, to me, a far more flexible system than 7, and Microsoft has raised its bar on customer satisfaction with its attentiveness to issues. If you are a builder wondering if you should even offer 8.1 to your established customers, i say YES! I am a tiny operation. However. my experience with the OS would behoove me to not only offer, but strongly recommend Windows 8.1 to customers.
By the way, I am a music composer and performer. I create my own fully orchestrated performance accompaniment tracks for both my originals and standards. Windows 8.1 has made the process much easier. I use two screens. One is a touch. On the touch screen I have Sonar X3. There I can operate the virtual board and modify the final product. If I hear something that does not sound quite as I want it, I switch to the second screen where I have the song I am working on in a different application. I consider Noteworthy to be the best and easiest notation editor (Windows only). I switch to the Noteworthy screen, and make the changes, save the edits, and export it to midi format. Then I open and continue to work on it in Sonar.
I have yet to suffer any data or work loss in this process. So, I say to my musician friends, GET IT!!!

Had to move to Windows 8.1 since my motherboard does not support Windows 10. I’m not using the touch screen functions in Windows just the regular mouse and keyboard. Almost all my software running on Windows 7 64 bit operating system installed in Windows 8.1 either directly or my using Windows 7 compatibility mode. The operating system is much faster
then Windows 7.

Note: Supposedly you can no longer get the free upgrade to Windows 10 after July 2016!
I was actually able to order 2 of these for myself before the Free upgrade offered from Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 to Windows 10. So I basically paid about $100 less for Windows 10 Pro per machine, which was pretty awesome. As an OS though, I never really liked Windows 8.1. I’m glad they went back to the “feel” of previous Windows versions and managed to keep a few of the more useful and intuitive features that Windows 8.1 had.
There isn’t really a major difference between Windows 7 and Windows 10 outside of the default “theme” and the deeper configuration menus for certain features, but I like Windows 10 MUCH more than Windows 8.1. The main reason I went with Windows 10 instead of sticking with Windows 7 was for the updating strategy. After sticking with previous versions of Windows for so long they quit providing updates for it, I know what its like to feel like you’re computer is aging in dog years. From what I’ve read about Windows 10, you won’t need to ever buy another upgrade disc or USB drive with an OS upgrade, Windows 10 will just keep releasing things like “The Anniversary Update”. We’ll see though. Overall, I give Windows 10 an 8/10 rating. Windows 8.1? I’d give a 6.5/10 rating.
