Want to upgrade Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Student Edition, but should I wait for Windows 8?
I want to improve my windows 7 starter to windows 7 Student Edition kit, but I know that windows 8 will come out at the end of October. Should I wait to upgrade until there or should I buy just student Windows 7? If I update it soon with the release of Windows 8 would be entitled to a discount?
Update Microsoft Office Starter to Microsoft Office Home and Student will be all different running on Windows 7 or Windows 8, it will still work. So, I would upgrade now if you need the extra features and functionalility home and student offers.

Windows 8 Pro supports up to 192 GB of RAM, but you should check the manufacturers Web site to find out how much your HP can support. You can also go to http://www.crucial.com and use System Monitor to determine how much is supported.
At present, the only edition that you can buy an upgrade license is upgraded Windows 8 Pro, so there is no other choice.

Windows 7 Edition Home Premium or wait for Windows 8
Hello
My six year, Sony's all-in-one PC is running slower and slower despite the developed and needs to be replaced this year. My dilemma is whether to replace now, probably with a laptop with screen 17.3 inch under Windows 7 Home Premium or wait for Windows 8 released. To use PC home and I'm a relatively unsohisticated user. Any advice much appreciated.
Before getting a new laptop or PC, check their website to see if they already Win8 pilots. If so and you want something that looks like XP, I'd go for scope Win7 in time Win8 once it is released. A lot of the manufacturer may offer a "anytime upgrade" of Win7 for Win8 with the purchase of their product. Dell and others who did when Win7 is out; you buy a PC with XP installed, and you could get the upgrade later for a reduced price (and in some cases, free).
I tried Win8 consumer Preview and really don't care for her. I'm not an iPad or iPhone user (I use my cell phone as a phone, not a computer), so I'm not all that familiar with the concept of full tile to do things. Give me a Start Menu and I'm happy :-)
Of course, these are just my opinions, and I don't know there are many others who will be either agree or disagree with me, and that's ok. Diversity is what keeps life interesting :-)
