The installation speed of Windows 8 will increase dramatically

Beijing time November 25 Morning News, in the previous versions of Windows, the installation process is quite lengthy, sometimes even a day, but Microsoft (Weibo) today promised to significantly increase the installation speed in Windows 8.

In a new official posting, the Windows development team said that the current installation process for Windows 8 has been reduced from the complex installation process of Windows 7 and up to 60 screens to just a click of 11 mouse. In contrast, the new pure installation of Windows 7 requires a minimum of 32 minutes, while Windows 8 is 21 minutes. Medium Upgrade (213,000 files, 77 applications), Windows 7 takes time 131 minutes, and Windows 8 is 42 minutes. Heavy upgrades (430,000 files, 90 applications), Windows 7 takes 188 minutes, and Windows 8 only 46 minutes. Super Upgrade (1.44 million files, 120 applications), Windows 7 takes 513 minutes, and Windows 8 only 52 minutes.

In addition, Microsoft's ability to backward-compatible is still impressive. The Windows development team even showed up at a meeting to run a 1990 version of the 16-bit Excel document using Windows 8. But with the development of technology, this kind of backward compatibility is more and more difficult. Microsoft said it would rely on third-party designers to provide support.
