Solve : Is Windows 8 for Tablet PCs only?? |
|
Answer» Sorry guys, but I cannot find a good answer on Google so I post the question here. No. Quote from: BC_Programmer on October 28, 2012, 03:30:54 AM No. That is a very good answer indeed. Geek Hoodlum's Google must be broken, because if I search on "Windows 8 DESKTOP laptop" (desktops and laptops are not tablets) I GET "About 402,000,000 results", and if I type "Windows 8 Wikipedia" I see "Windows 8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" at the top of the results, and halfway down the page it says this: Hardware requirements PCs (Bla bla bla) Tablets and convertibles (Bla bla bla) ...which kind of suggests that Windows 8 is not for tablets only. Also I have seen lots of ads offering Windows 8 upgrades for PCs (not laptops) RUNNING Windows 7. The tablet version of Win 8 which they dubbed "RT" for whatever reason holds quite a few differences than the PC version.... Biggest one that stands out to me is the fact the Tablet version will NOT run any 3rd party software....only apps from the MS store. Depending on which tablet device you have you may not be able to run the full version... More Info... The Full version as stated above is for PC's...both Desktops and Laptops...This one of the best detailed explanation of O/S Win 8 and it RANGE of functionality directly related to the device it is used upon that i have come across. http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2012/10/25/f-windows-eight-launch-nowak.html truenorthThanks for the inputs guys! |
