What’s new with Windows 8?
The Start screen

• Everything you care about most is on the new Start screen. Tiles on the Start screen are connected to people, apps, folders, photos, or websites, and are alive with the latest info, so you’re up to date at a glance.
Mouse, keyboard—and now touch

• Windows 8 is perfect for PCs with only a mouse and keyboard, those with touchscreens, and those with both. Whatever kind of PC you have, you’ll discover fast and fluid ways to switch between apps, move things around, and go smoothly from one place to another.

Apps from the Windows Store

• Windows 8 comes with a new store for apps, the Windows Store. Open the Store right from your Start screen to browse and download apps for cooking, photos, sports, news, and a lot more—many of them free.
Millions of streaming songs

• Windows 8 also includes the Xbox Music app, which gives you access to a whole world of music.
Your Windows, everywhere

  • Sign in with your Microsoft account to any of your PCs running Windows 8 and you’ll immediately see your own background, display preferences, and settings.
  • Internet access (fees may apply)
  • Microsoft account required for some features
  • Watching DVDs requires separate playback software
  •  Windows Media Center license sold separately
  • See the full system requirements
  • Downloading Windows 8 over a metered Internet connection

A metered Internet connection is when a service provider charges by the amount of data sent and received by your PC. Windows 8 is a large file: about 1.5 GB for the 32-bit version and about 2 GB for the 64-bit version. Before you start the download on a metered Internet connection, be sure to:

• Check your current usage, and then figure out if this download might result in additional charges.

• Allow enough time for the download to finish. Most people with a broadband Internet connection complete the download in an hour or two, but download times will vary based on your connection speed and other factors.
