I'm not a fan of windows 8 since i dont use a windows phone or an Xbox. the whole live tiles thing is pointless with out a touch screen monitor or track pad. IMO..

I was running a 2 month old SONY PC with Windows 7 installed from the factory. After I purchased and downloaded the Windows 8 upgrade, NONE of my USB ports worked. I was on the phone with Andrew Willis from Microsoft Windows Tech Support for over 2 hours trying to fix the problem. At last, I was told by Dave Koski, the Windows Tech Support Manager, that I would need to contact SONY because it is a hardwear issue?!?! He said the only other work around, would be to do a complete system restore and reinstall Windows 7, which would completely wipe all of the personal information on my PC. SONY told me it's not their problem, it's a Microsoft issue. Fortunately, I had all of my files backed up on an external hard drive. 4 hours later, I'm finally able to use my USB ports, but only after re-installing Windows 7.

I'm sure this is not the issue with all PC's, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Make sure you have all of your system files backed up on an external hard drive before upgrading to Windows 8.

Did you run the compatibility check software before purchasing?

Anyhow, I signed up....not sure if I want to upgrade or not. But atleast I now have the option. Thanks OP!
