Synopsis

A world of opportunity is at your fingertips when you experience Windows 8 Core. Optimized for touch-screen tablets while staying true to your PC, mouse and keyboard, this revolutionary operating system makes navigation faster, more fluid and more energy efficient than ever before — no matter what kind of PC or tablet you use. The world today is constantly changing — Twitter accounts are updated by the very second, news breaks instantaneously and your favorite apps always have new information to offer. If you're not connected, you're falling behind. Windows 8 gives you a new way to stay on top of the influx, transforming your most essential apps, folders, photos, Web sites and contacts into Live Tiles that are always alive with the latest information. There's no looking back — the future is now.

Windows 8 gives you quick and easy access to your account, complete with your customized background, display preferences and settings, on any of your PCs or tablets also running Windows 8. Whichever device you're using, you'll experience a faster start-up time, more streamlined movement between apps and an optimized Office interface. Your go-to apps are always at your side — whether you're at home or on the go — when you download them from the new Windows Store. Browse and download thousands of apps for cooking, news, sports, music and everything in between, then share each one with up to five Windows 8 PCs or tablets, so you'll never be stuck without them. As more of your life happens online, you can ensure your personal information will stay safe with Windows Defender and Windows Firewall that provide increased security. If you want more ways to connect, work, play and flourish in the digital age, Windows 8 is your entrance to a new era of computing.

Windows 8 Core - Windows (1 out of 1)
Hard to get use the first few weeks
5
Posted by: from Houston, TX on 03/22/2013I bought this in order to install Microsoft Office 2013.Switching from Vista to this was a hard transition. Sometimes I got frustrated because I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Though I did nothing in order to get the hang of it, I know exactly what I'm doing now, simply by just practicing with it about 3 days per week.
