Microsoft has simplified the installation process for Windows 8, cutting it from 60 screens to as few as 11 clicks and company expects installations to be key to Windows 8 uptake, as it is designed to work on all PCs running Vista,XP and Windows 7.I think Microsoft main focus is to improve the rate of successful installations because it wants to make it faster and easier to use.
Microsoft has improved the file transfer system for upgrades to Windows 8. Rather than moving each individual file, it moves entire folders, drastically reducing the number of file operations required.Windows 8 also makes file transfer easier by linking to files in the old system rather than rewriting them, via a "transport" holding folder, to the new OS.This means i can link to the actual data on disk in the transport location without having to physically move the file, which has a significant performance gain.
As an advanced user,I will still be able to run advanced installations and Microsoft has streamlined the basic setup system, taking it from a convoluted 60 screens to one that can be completed in as few as 11 clicks.The streamlined setup kicks off inside the older OS by running the DVD or web download which will automatically preload the 25-digit product key.It scans the PC for compatible programs, and makes a note of which version and language of the OS to install.If you are user,pick from a clean install or one bringing over settings, personal files and applications.Unfortunately,users upgrading from Vista won't be able to bring their apps with them but will be able to keep settings and personal data and those upgrading from XP won't be able to bring apps or settings.
