Win8 operating system usage evaluation (Wang Yong)

Win8 has been around for a while, and many devices on the market are listed one after another based on Win8 systems. What kind of operating system is Win8, he claimed to be a revolutionary operating system. Let's take a look at it.

The birth of Win8 is inseparable from the current rise of mobile Internet. As smart mobile terminals enter our hands, robbing the mobile terminal market has become a critical time for a company to survive and survive, if the response is a little slow, it will be miserable, such as Nokia.

Next I will take you through the system download, installation, use and other aspects of this product for a general understanding.

1. Download Win8 System

Currently, Windows 8 has no cracked version, so you can only download it from the Windows official website. I downloaded the 90-day free trial and evaluation version of Win8 Enterprise Edition, which includes 32-bit and 64-bit,

Download the 32-bit (x86) version:

Ii. Win8 system installation

The downloaded ISO file (about 3.31 GB) can be directly decompressed into a directory. Open the Directory and click setup.exe to start installation. The installation procedure is very simple. It is similar to that of win7, and there is almost no manual setup.

After the operating system is installed, the C disk occupies more than 20 GB.

Iii. Interface display

1. Initial interface: Adapt to the operating mode of the tablet, large icons, slide. The personal account information is displayed in the upper-right corner, and the "desktop" button in the lower-left corner (the shortcut key is the logo key) is used to enter the traditional interface.

2. Traditional interface: similar to Windows 7, the license information is displayed in the lower right corner, but the start button is unavailable. Place the cursor in the lower left corner to click to enter the initial interface.

3. Start the interface, similar to the layout of a smartphone, where newly installed programs can appear.

4. the browser installed on Win8 is Internet javaser10, And the browsing effect on ie10 is as follows.

5. Open "computer" and display the local disk interface, which is similar to that of Windows 7. The display mode (thumbnail and list) button is placed in the lower right corner. The switch mode of the button on the top is changed to office2007, And the dialog box mode is removed.

6. The basic information interface of the computer. Only the Microsoft logo has changed. Because the 64-bit operating system is installed, the 6 GB memory can be saturated.

7. Supports multi-task switching interface (Alt + TAB ).

8. The local search interface (WIN + F) seems to be fast.

9. The web search interface seems to be more dazzling.

10. The cmd command prompt interface has not changed.

11. The Task Manager interface (CTRL + ALT + DEL) clearly shows the resource usage of applications.

12. The account avatar has the lock and logout buttons. To shut down the instance, you need to switch the machine button in the lower right corner of the user interface (CTRL + ALT + DEL), or press the shortcut key "Win + I.

13. The input method has changed. The shortcut key is "Win + space ".

14. The installation of the company printer is very simple. You only need to enter the printer IP address to automatically search for the driver online.

15. You need to set some programs to start at startup and put them in the user's "startup items" folder. The boot item path of Win8 is deep and hard to find. You can search for "Boot" on drive C"

Iv. trial experience

1. The installation interface is very simple. It continues the Installation Style of win7, but after the installation is successful, you can add a user to the screen to demonstrate the interface. Operating system installation is becoming increasingly common.

2. the system starts and shuts down at a relatively high speed. It takes about 5 seconds to start and shut down.

3. When you delete a file, you will not be reminded to confirm it. The file will be directly deleted to the recycle bin.

4. the initial interface of the system is completely based on the usage habits of the tablet computer. Large Icons can be displayed on multiple screens. The initial interface and the traditional interface can also be switched with one click, it does take into account the usage habits of tablets, laptops, and desktops.

5. Install a series of software such as RTX, Foxmail, QQ, kubernetes, and 360 without incompatibility. It can be seen that Win8 has good compatibility.

6. the "Start" menu that has been used for a long time has been canceled. "Win + R" can call the "Start" menu, and "Win + R" can call the "run" dialog box. So there will be some inhabits in terms of usage habits.

7. The scroll wheel key of the ThinkPad notebook does not seem to be usable. The ThinkPad driver supporting Win8 is not yet complete.

V. Summary

Win8 is a "revolutionary" product, a bit exaggerated. Through this product, Microsoft has not been able to make great changes to the mobile terminal. However, considering the stable transition of users' habits in the past, using such a compromise is also a good strategy. The launch of the system will find that more and more products will gradually evolve into a tablet and notebook. The most representative products are Microsoft's surface and Lenovo's yoga.
