Difference of points of view
Currently, there are a lot of reviews about Windows 8. Some users praise this system very much, claiming that it is well optimized and works incomparably, while others condemn it and write that it is still very "raw" and, accordingly, does not function properly.

"Windows 8.1" expert reviews
If you get acquainted with new operating systems, then you probably met with conflicting opinions, of which there are a large number. In fact, many computer systems experts claim that the developers hurried up with the creation of the new operating system version 8.1.

Therefore, those who have Windows 8 on a laptop are tormented. The reviews help to understand that some users begin to independently transform and optimize the operating system, or rather, completely change the control panel, make large windows, and so on.

Pocket PC

In fact, it is necessary to clarify that the developers have created a really large range of background features, as well as a large number of color schemes. If this is your first time starting to set up a new system, then you will be given the opportunity to choose your own color scheme, as well as install any background image. In the basic kit, you can see a large number of very different images, they will be immediately divided into different categories.

The search for objectivity

You can easily optimize the new operating system “Windows 8” for version 7 and make it even more functional. Therefore, if you decide to switch from the eighth version back to the seventh, you should carefully think about whether you are making a mistake. Especially if you purchased a new device with a license from an official seller - then, of course, you had to pay extra for this operating system.
Applications
Let's now deal with another aspect regarding Windows 8 (program reviews). Surely you will be interested to know what users write about applications and standard programs. In fact, some programs in this new operating system simply refuse to work, but, of course, you can solve this problem yourself, and for this you only need to enable the "Framework" version 3.5. After enabling this option, all of your old programs that were installed on the device and simply stopped working will start again. In fact, this does not happen so often, but if you still encounter a similar problem, then you already know how to solve it. If you describe the operation of the new operating system, you can affirmatively state that it works and starts much faster than the previous version of "Windows 7". Naturally, the developers optimized the new system, and therefore it became better to "fly", but this, it is worth saying, does not occur in all cases.
Customization
Of course, if you just installed “Windows 8”, you may have some problems, but in this case you just need to install all the drivers, after which the system will start working fully. I would also like to note that the system we are talking about today can be used on older devices. Of course, work can be slowed down, but, in general, they put the "eight" on ancient gadgets.
False start
In general, we can say that most of the reviews on this operating system are false, or rather, users begin to express their opinion, not even familiarizing themselves with this system in detail. Of course, you can also find truthful reviews, where people independently solve problems and just help others make their choice of OS.
Shield
About the Windows Defender 8 app, reviews, of course, can be overly enthusiastic, but still, even by going to the developer's official website, you can find a solution to almost all of the problems that are associated with the operating system. If you decide to buy a computer with an OS already installed on it, then we recommend that you definitely try to use it for a while, and only then think about replacing it with the "seven". Although, if you wish, you can again install the eighth version.
