If you don't know how to check, use the Windows8-ConsumerPreview-setup.exe utility (5MB) web installer to do it all for you - link. There's also a Youtube video. The web installer also analyzes all your apps for compatibility and does the download and install for you. It's doing an old Asus W5F laptop for me as we speak.

ISOs for 64-bit and 32-bit downloaded fine.

Downloading as well. Super exited. Read there is no uninstall so nervous about my games :D
 
Ummm tell me can i take a spare ssd and load this like windows 7 or do i have upgrade my windows 7?

Ghoti the intelligent thing to do would be backing up your install before you do it. That way if it bombs you just put everything back in 20 minutes, i think ima do that hey.

Also a bit worried, if shyte goes wrong i aint reinstalling, rather use acronis, back up and then go from there :D.

I really dont care. Its not an important partition for me. Its windows. My game installs are all on a separate drive anyway. I often play them from my Linux install as well so keep the game folders on their own drive. Worst case scenario is I have to reinstall windows. I lose nothing.
