I recently put together a new computer and went from Windows 7 on the old
one to Windows 8.1 on the new. Several times on the first day I came very
close to wiping Windows 8.1 and installing Windows 7 but I'm glad I stuck i=
t
out. Windows 8.1 is much faster, especially on boot up. (Yes, some of the
speed is from the new hardware.)

My problem was finding things. For example, joining a domain uses the exact
same screen as Windows 7 but it is buried so deep it took a long google
search to figure out how to get there. Now that I've figured out how they
hide things (don't want users to see all that nasty technical stuff) I thin=
k
Windows 8.1 is a big improvement although I must confess I work primarily
from the old desktop and I don't have a touch screen.

I was pleasantly surprised that all my old programs seem to work, even my
version of WordPerfect which the Upgrade Advisor said was not compatible.=20
