Installing Windows 8 will be fast and simple, Microsoft ensures

Windows XP was not having faster  installation process . Screens and more confirmation screens separated the user ultimately use the system. Windows Vista and 7, of course, given improvements in the process but it is still a bit complicated and not very descriptive. It seems that Windows 8 is that Microsoft will finally tackle the problem head-on the complexity of your system installation. And for that, the company plans to change things simple.


In the official blog of building Windows 8, Microsoft details some of these items. You do not need more, for example, enter the serial number: the installation will be done with serial numbers pre-loaded, including the installation file that will allow both an update of the current system as a clean install.

And unlike the previous installations, the Windows 8 will move entire folders instead of just files at a time, which should speed up the process as a whole.

In addition the process for those who are upgrading the system is also simpler. According to Microsoft itself, with only 11 clicks, the user will be able to import all settings (depending on the version of Windows that he is leaving), data and programs to the new system. Windows 8 will also look for on your programs installed and also find out what is the best version to install the system, probably based on the hardware of the machine.

Since business users (or more courageous and smart) will have certain tools available, such as Windows Deployment and Assessment Kit, which will facilitate the creation of custom installations or network. Allied to these changes, Microsoft also made the installation more user friendly and detailed, saying what is being done for a particular screen and giving tips on what the user should be aware of before making the choice, for example, a clean installation or an upgrade.
