Speaking of Windows 8

from WinCustomize Forums

Would it make my friends system run any faster? It have Windows 7 on it right now with just about everything turned off or disabled and it still acts like a dinosaur. Keep in mind this is on a fresh install of 7, no malware or viruses. I think the CPU is to blame here. Web pages take forever to load, programs take forever to execute. 

System in question:

AMD E1-1200 Dual Core APU with Radeon 7130 graphics, 1.4 GHz

4 GB DDR3 memory

320 GB hard drive

I have used previous beta and preview MS OS before on low use machines in my network of 20 and had the nagging & reboot hourly, so it would be a reasonable assumption that MS will do it again, and yes it IS irritating, BUT I remember seeing somewhere that  a w7 key could be used on w8, it might be worth testing this.

No luck. The Windows 8 install will not take a Window 7 product key. If only. LOL.

I would be extremely surprised if Windows 8 would take a Windows 7 key. Really.  o_O

Well it looks like we are going to sell the machine. Just to slow. Even after I reinstalled Windows 7, turned off everything that starts up at boot in MSCONFIG, went without a AV program, and no Windows 7 updates, and installed the lastest drivers, this machine is still having issues just reading the Facebook newsfeed. The whole system freezes just doing simple things. So it's on Craigslist. I hope Lonovo knows this system sucks. Hopefully I can get $225 out of it. Probably not. I doubt this CPU is a true dual core CPU. Something isn't right.

Yeah that would be nice if I had Windows 8.
