Product Description

Windows 8 Professional System Builder is for pre-installation on a new personal computer or anytime you want to run Windows 8 on a computer that isn't currently loaded with 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 Professional System Builder DVD 32-Bit can be installed on personal computers with a 32 bit or 64 bit capable processor.� With Windows 8 Pro, you can connect and share your files. Windows 8 Pro also adds enhanced features if you need to connect to company networks, access remote files, encrypt sensitive data, and other more advanced tasks.

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.

Windows 8 Professional System Builder OEM DVD 32-Bit [Old Version] Review

Update 8-21-2013. This review is of the Launch version of this software from October 2012. The new 8.1 is a big improvement but the review below still stands for the launch version of Windows 8 32 bit. /Update

This is the worst MS OS yet. Even before I could install this OS, it turned out the product key that came packaged with it would not work. When calling MS customer service, I was told I could be given a new product key but for an additional $10. I chose to return and exchange the set back with Amazon instead.

*** Buyer Beware: It seems to be some fishy method on Microsoft's end in order to extort money from customers. They provide a product key that does not work with a product but then charge you MORE money to get a valid one. MS will claim otherwise but I'm not the only person that had an invalid key and was offered a new one for $9.99 after purchasing.***

Only when I received that second Windows 8 Pro 32-bit package, that product key wouldn't work either. After two more lengthy calls with MS, they offered me a new product key free of charge so I could finally finish the install. That was just beginning of a whole new misadventure.

This OS makes you work harder just to do simple tasks. The Start Menu is gone. Like changing the time and date for an example. Before you could go to the task bar and simply double click to access the clock and calendar. Now you have to go through several sub-menus before you can access the clock. The task bar is different and you must point the mouse in the corners of the screen in order for a menu to appear (since there is no start menu). Be prepared to have to "search" for whatever you need that isn't the settings menu, system display options, Apps store or Internet Explorer.

The main problem is that this OS is not at all user intuitive and the GUI was designed around a touch screen input and not a traditional mouse and keyboard setup. The Desktop isn't even the first thing when it boots. Yes, you have to go to a menu to find the desktop! Even dual/multi booting is a chore with this OS as it wants to be the default OS no matter your system setting. I wanted a second 32-bit OS partition to go nicely with my Windows 7 64-bit but even that proved to be a hassle and I'm an experienced system builder. I'll stick with Windows 7 for now until MS acknowledges the problems with this build with a later service pack! Not everyone has a tablet or touch screen interface!
