Check your PC for Windows 8 readiness with upgrade assistant
Is the software and hardware on your PC compatible with Windows 8? It's easy to find out with the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant.
To
download the
Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant, go to the
Windows 8 upgrade site, then click on the blue Download Upgrade Assistant button. The file is only about 5MB, so it shouldn't take long for the download to complete.
To run the upgrade assistant, double-click on
Windows8-UpgradeAssistant.exe. It will immediately begin checking your
PC for c
ompatible apps and devices. Once it's finished, the Upgrade Assistant will display how many of your apps and devices are compatible, and how many require your attention.
