Should I Upgrade to Windows 8?

I get asked, "Should I upgrade to Windows 8?".

My answer is, "Probably not!".

Windows XP Support will be withdrawn this year meaning that no more security updates will be forthcoming so if your PC in connected to the Internet you may wish to consider whether or not to upgrade or replace your PC. It won't stop working, it'll just become more open to security breaches.

If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 there is no need to upgrade unless you relish the challenge. Windows 8 is very different and whereas progress from XP through Vista and onto 7 were easy, Windows 8 requires some relearning.

My own opinion is that unless you have a Touch Screen PC or Tablet, Windows 8 gives you nothing.
Windows 8 is designed to make use of Touch Screen technology and to converge the look and feel of Windows PC, Tablets and Smartphones.
