Microsoft Windows 8 OEM 32-bit
Windows 8
Windows 8 System Builder is for installation on a new computer or installation
on a computer that is not currently running Windows 7, Vista, or XP. This
product is not an upgrade and does not provide solutions to help you keep
personal settings or files during installation.
Windows has been reimagined to focus on your life. The beautiful, fast, and
fluid design is perfect for a range of hardware: from compact, touch-enabled
tablets and lightweight laptops, to PCs and large, powerful all-in-ones with
high-definition screens. The new Windows 8 start screen is your personalized
home for items you use the most and can be customized according to your user
preferences. Windows 8 Live tiles provide real-time updates from your Facebook,
Twitter, and e-mail accounts. Along with the new Start screen, the lock screen
now includes e-mail, calendar, and clock widgets. To access your PC, Microsoft
has replaced a standard password or PIN with a swipe gesture; unlock your PC by
clicking or swiping preset locations you’ve selected on the lock screen. New
functions also allow you to search for your favorite software programs, open,
close, hide, resize, or run multiple apps simultaneously with the swipe of a
finger or a swipe of the mouse. Windows has also made changes to make your PC
more secure by boosting its existing security features and adding SmartScreen,
which acts to prevent suspicious programs or apps from being installed or
running on your machine. Windows 8 also gives you the ability to refresh itself
to give users a new starting point and a cleaner version of Windows.
