8 Good reasons to Upgrade to Windows 8

Tomorrow is the launch of latest Operating System from windows series. i.e. Windows 8. If you are still having trouble in deciding whether to upgrade to windows 8 or not then I can help you a bit by presenting  8 good reasons to upgrade to windows 8. My primary aim of writing this post is to clear the confusion from people's mind that windows 8 have been just same as its previous version windows 7 but with a slightly new user interface and a new start window.  So here are the reasons:-

1. Faster boot up speed: No one thought that the booting  of windows 8 could be so quick compared to previous windows versions. Not only booting speed is improved but shutting down your device is also now a  few seconds work. With faster booting and shutting down process windows 8 is very quicker to use.

2. Refresh/Reset: This is a new feature introduced in windows 8 letting users to reset windows to factory settings, which proves to be useful in case of malware infections, or just for a clean start. Refresh keeps all of your user profiles, data and apps in place, while wiping programs you've installed. Reset is much more extreme and clears out all of your personal files and apps, and changes the PC’s settings to the defaults.

3. Windows Defender: This is a standalone antivirus tool offered along with windows 8. It is the successor of Security Essentials in windows 7. It is very basic when compared to its free alternatives, but is built-in antivirus protection.

4. Improved task Management: Windows 8 is slightly improved in task management also. When the user moves any file, a graph is displayed representing transfer rate. There's also an option for pause. The task manager is also modified and is split into apps and background processes.
5. Hyper: The new OS comes with Hyper-V, a powerful replacement for Windows Virtual PC that you can use to run multiple guest operating systems simultaneously. Great for developers and IT professionals.
6. Storage Spaces: Windows 8 lets you use multiple connected disks (of any size) to create a pool of storage, which is treated as a single location with its own drive letter. If you start to run out of space you can simply connect another drive to the pool.
7. Lock Screen & Picture Password: With this version of Windows you have the option to use a picture lock screen similar to that of a Smartphone. This is the new alternative to the traditional typed password or no log in at all.
8. Device compatibility: Microsoft has designed Windows 8 to work on different devices - it's not just for your PC. No matter whether the device is a 27-inch PC, 15-inch laptop or a 10-inch tablet, Windows 8 will adapt to that device for flawless compatibly.
