If you have been using Windows XP all these years, Windows 8 is probably the most compelling reason to upgrade. That is if your PC can take Windows 8. Windows 8 requires 1GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 20GB of disk space, 1366 x 768 screen resolution.<br /><br />However, the best way to be sure of the compatibility of your PC is by downloading, installing, and running the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant. It will scan your PC for compatibility issues. After running the Upgrade Assistant, you will be presented with an option to buy, download, and install Windows 8. Every other thing is intuitive from then on.<br /><br />Windows 8 is backward compatible to Windows XP. So, your files will transfer seamlessly to Windows 8. However, you will have to reinstall your applications if you want to access the files as applications on your Windows XP computer will not be transferred to Windows 8.<br /><br />To upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows XP, you need a debit card with at least $39.99 balance to pay for the Windows 8 installer. Currently the price for Windows 8 Pro upgrade is $39.99 (N6,500). You will also need a high speed internet access and enough data balance on your internet plan. The Windows 8 installer is approximately 2GB in size. So, ensure you have adequate data balance. You can also order Windows 8 installer on DVD.<br /><br />How to Upgrade to Windows 8
