Windows 8 comes with a wide array of improvements and although some say that it’s even faster than Windows 7 on older computers, people are worried that Microsoft’s new OS could actually slow down their machines.
Microsoft however lends consumers a hand with the Windows 8Upgrade Assistant, a downloadable tool that allows them to check whether their system is ready for Windows 8.
Basically, you have nothing else to do than launch the app and let it do its magic. After a few minutes, it should display the number of apps and hardware devices compatible with Windows 8, while also providing dedicated features to help you determine the best Windows 8 flavor for you.
Of course, the application is available for free and can also be downloaded from Microsoft by clicking this link.
The big blue button on the right took me here: http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/Windows-8-Upgrade-Assistant-Screenshot-224254.html
after I downloaded the app and was installing it, I saw it included something called “WunderBar” — I backed right the heck out. Was this supposed to happen????
I have changed the download link to lead directly to the Microsoft download. SoftPedia has many download buttons on that page — only one of the is for the Microsoft Download Assistant. The direct link is to the Microsoft download now.
