Don't come in with your flaming rants about 7 vs. 8
Simple question is are you switching to Windows 8 tomorrow? Why or Why not
Debating on buying Win 8 Pro for System Builders from Amazon for $110 after discount code. I'm like a kid, I wanna play with it(unfortunately I never tried the previews of it because I didn't feel like backing up everything couple months ago)
How to do a clean install:
Step 1: Use the Upgrade Assistant to qualify the PC and pay the $40 (US)
Step 2: When the "Install Windows 8" message appears, select "Install by creating media" to create a bootable USB flash drive or an .iso (a disk image) file.
Step 3: Wait for the Assistant to download the Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash drive must be have 3GB or more of free space available.
Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you chose, to a blank DVD.
Step 5: Use that USB drive or DVD to boot the PC.
Step 6: When you get to the screen in Setup that asks, "Which type of installation do you want?' choose "Custom."
Step 7: Select a disk partition for the OS in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there's enough space available, or reformat the drive.
Step 8: Continue with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.
Edited out moot point.
