Start Up Quickly * Customize your Metro-Interface Start Screen with personalized Live Tiles * Stay safe with Windows Defender * Encrypt your data with Bitlocker Windows 8 System Builder is for pre-installation on a new personal 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 as the product is installed. Windows 8 System Builder DVD 64-Bit can be installed on personal computers with a 64 bit capable processor. 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 PIN or password 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. Finally, Windows 8 also gives you the ability to "refresh" itself to give users a new starting point and a cleaner version of Windows.

The install took much less time than I was anticipating. I believe the initial install only took about 10 minutes.This OS is not as bad as people may leave you to believe. I was very skeptical about purchasing it because of all of the negative reviews. The best way I can describe it, is a much faster version of Windows 7 with some unneeded applications. I agree with most people about Metro, or the live tile start up screen. This screen is utterly useless for a PC without a touchscreen, because it is se..
As a life-long Microsoft user, I sadly but firmly believe that this is the worst thing that Microsoft has ever produced. They seem to have forgotten that Windows software for a computer, not a tablet. This is definitely for something with a touch screen. Their biggest fault was trying to give the rather enormous and ridiculous Start Menu something almost identical to the Xbox 360 interface, except this is no good. 75% of the devices you will probably never touch. This is just sloppy. What infuriates me is w..
The "System Builder" discs of Windows 8 are named this way because they are a full install and not an upgrade. The assumption is that you are building your own machine and looking to put Windows 8 on a from-scratch install, but this is still a multi-boot friendly OS and if your intention instead is to install a full copy of Windows 8 without upgrading your current system, well, that works too: you can put this on old hardware so long as your machine meets the system requirements. There has been some conf..
