There are three major versions of WIN8 that we currently have: Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows 8 Professional, as the Enterprise Edition is primarily enterprise-class, and is of little significance to our average consumer, so we don't think about it here.

However, Windows RT cannot install software programs like previous Windows systems and can only be used by downloading applications from the Windows Store application store. But it still has traditional desktop systems and files, task managers, and strong peripheral compatibility.
Windows RT is suitable for lightweight users and is currently available only by buying surface RT tablet, which is tied to the device and not sold independently. Windows 8
Windows 8 is the most user-oriented version, Microsoft's latest force with Windows 7 Baton, an upgraded NT 6.2 kernel, and a new interface system-the "start" screen. A new ecosystem is built through Windows Store, as well as a legacy desktop system.

With more performance and stability, Windows 8 has developed a new platform while inheriting traditional operating systems, and has spawned a slew of new types of computer equipment. The new system links the three platforms of tablet, PC and mobile phones in a complete way.
Windows 8 can install traditional software programs or download applications in the Windows store for the vast majority of computer users.
