A 'bit' surprised by this latest new trial OS. It came so soon.

My 10mbs may take this download/update awhile or more to finish.
But I'm really looking forward to seeing the new homepage desktop and enjoying several of the many new apps. It's nice that the Start button has been reissued, but it doesn't bring up the old menu tha we all got used to using since Windows 98 was released upon us. Hahaha
The new much improved Internet Explorer 11 should also bring some unexpected enjoyment to the big picture...
Microsoft has finally launched Windows 8.1 Preview, so most Windows 8 adopters are now getting ready to install this first major update for their operating system.
According to the official FAQ published by Microsoft after the opening BUILD keynote, you need 16 GB of free space if you want to install the 32-bit version of the operating system and up to 20 GB for the 64-bit release.
Paradoxically, some of our computers can’t be updated to Windows 8.1 Preview because of insufficient hard disk space, even though some have more than 50 GB of free space.
Here are all system requirements for Windows 8.1 Preview, as they have been provided to us by Microsoft:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Free hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
Graphics card: MicrosoftDirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
As far as Windows RT is concerned, the Windows 8.1 Preview update requires 10 GB of free storage space.
My old computer has a miniscule 13GB hardrive. Smile
