Upgrading my laptop Windows 7 to Windows 8. 1

I intend to spend my laptop current Windows 7 Hp 2000 Windows 8.1 probably this year I checked the Hp site for my laptop to its drivers my Windows 7 64 bit I see it off for that new drivers for 64-bit Windows 8, but not for Windows 8.1 I can use for Windows 8 64-bit drivers for my laptop when it is version 8.1 of Windows or simply keep readers for Windows 7 64-bit players.

I'm looking for appropriate responses that will respond to my question before moving on to Windows 8.1.

Hello

Many cases not all Windows 7 drivers will not work with Windows 8.1. A few Windows 8 drivers may NOT work with Windows 8.1 you can find on this forum and a lot using Google. You can also find a lot of people who is eager to get back to Windows 7 after the purchase of Windows 8 or 8.1 machine.

Unless you have a very good reason for this, I would not recommend to upgrade your Windows 7 computer to Windows 8 or 8.1. More of a problem than pleasure.

Kind regards.

    I am owner of Dreamweaver 8 comes with Macromedia Studio 8. I'm getting worried about the age of the machine which is on. Is there a way to upgrade a laptop Windows 7 which does not involve a monthly rent and allows to work on the source code of my Web site completely offline?

    Thank you. Last time I looked into things with the description "Cloud", it seemed to me that you either need to be logged to the software work (possibly validate the rental date?) and/or your content of current things was 'in the cloud '.

    While I don't like the rental model, if I can make it work offline that may be an option.

    Fortunately, the machine still works, so I have little time to decide. It is likely that my existing sites in Dreamweaver 8 will be compatible up with current versions?

    If your version of Design Premium CS4 for Windows run on a 32 bit OS, then I don't think that it is running in Windows 10. There are a few cases of people install with the 64 bit version of CS4 Design Premium, however. See this thread: Re: CS4 and Windows 10?
