Installing Windows 8 is much faster than Windows 7

In addition to having a shorter installation time, upgrading the operating system to Windows 8 is also faster than upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system, which launches the market in late October 2012, will have a shorter installation time than the Windows 7 operating system, according to ZDNet, a source of Microsoft representative, said Michael Niehaus. .

Time to install Windows 8 operating system is shorter than Windows 7.

According to Niehaus, in the clean installation mode, the time to install Windows 8 on the workstation normally only lasts 10 minutes. To compare, installing Windows 7 on the system with the same configuration takes 15 minutes. He also added that Windows 8 will take up the same disk space as the previous operating system version - about 7.76GB to 8GB.

In the case of an operating system upgrade, the installation time will be longer, although Microsoft engineers have improved this. Upgrade your computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8 without moving the application as well as data. For comparison, install the same upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 for 30 minutes on the same configuration computer.

If when upgrading, users choose to move the application and data, the installation process becomes longer. The more applications and the larger the data, the longer the upgrade time. Niehaus did not say how much longer the specific update time was, but said that the user was not so long to wait for hours as upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

"We have put some fundamental changes into the update process, so the update will take less time," explains Niehaus. However, there is no change in Windows 8 itself: All changes only related to the update tools include Microsoft User State Migration Tool 4.0 and Windows Preinstallation Environment, ZDNet adds.

Michael Niehaus added that Windows 8 requires systems as well as Windows 7. Thus, users who decide to switch to the new operating system version do not need to pay extra to update hardware devices.
