Windows 8.1

[CreativeTHC]

Hi,

..1. is there any difference between a paid w8.1 and a cracked one?!

  2. is there a good reason to change from w7 to w8.1 when it comes to "more" performance and such?

[JuztBe]

1. Nah
2. Performance boost is verry little. Stay at W7. I kind a felt it or maybe it was placebo effect

1. Just buy the damn key, it's 30 bucks. Don't be a pirate.

2. It's basically support, maybe a tiny boost in games. You won't notice like 5 more FPS, but overall performance is improved.

1. If you find a good .iso there isn't any difference but some .iso's have mallware or other programs that run in the background.

 

2. Expect a couple of seconds of boot time less on 8.1 i didn't really notice a boost.

I got my licenses from school via Dreamspark Premium/MSDNAA (free - if you are a student see if your school or department is registered to it), and Windows 8 lunch promotion (it was 40$ for the Pro edition + Media Center pack, how can you say no to such deal? I bought a license for all my family computers. Windows 7 had a similar offer at release. Stay tune for Windows 9 release for its offer)

I paid 130€ for Win 8 Pro . I have to make a custom ISO with 8.1 update. It s a pain in the ass to have to update to 8.1 everytime you setup your pc
