What is the different between Windows 7 and Windows 8

Hi,

Here are a few differences between Windows 7 and Windows 8.

1. Windows 8 has no Start Button and Windows 7 has. By default, Windows 8 uses Metro Ul for its desktop. As many say, Windows 8 is tiled.

2. Simpler Windows Task Manager menu on Windows 8. Upon opening, it only shows a list of apps running you can end. If you need details, just click the details tab. Unlike in Windows 7, the whole Apllications and Processes appears.

3. Delete, Copy, Rename and Move functions has improved. Copying multiple files on Windows 8, all info are merged into one dialog box. Click on more details where you can see the speed of transfer, trend and remaining data for transfer.

4. New look of Windows Explorer in Windows 8.

5. Windows 8 has a faster start up against Windows 7.

6. Windows 8 has new boot experience booting in advance options. On the dialog box, the selections are system restore, system image recovery, automatic repair and command prompt. If you have an iOS device, its operation is similar.

7. A plug-in free browsing of Windows 8. Favoring HTML 5 for its plugin architecture, programs will run by default without any plugins.

8. In Windows 8, signing in your PC using your on-line credentials in Windows Live. Windows 8 has integrated SkyDrive that uses your on-line credentials in the cloud. So you can log into another Windows 8 machine without worrying of your passwords or credentials.

9. You can reset/refresh your PC without losing any data on Windows 8.

10. Windows 8 allows scaling of screen sizes.

Windows 8 has plenty of things to offer over Windows 7. It'll give you complete feel of next generation OS and tablet like experience. Though, it lacks somewhere to Windows 7 like start button but third party tools like classic shell would able to restore it back.

Other than this, Windows 8 has storage spaces, file history, great apps gallery etc. To make your PC a safer place to do stuff.

Absolutely, Windows 8 will boot faster (less than 8 seconds) and perform copy/move/delete operation in super fast way. It also has improved file copying operation window where you could perform multiple copy/move operation while holding functionality to pause, cancel or abort the operation at mid, unlike its predecessor.
