Re: Windows 8
Did you use a DVD or from a usb stick? I used the stick last time and it was so much faster.

Re: Windows 8
just for those of you who need closure, my SSD did arrive the following Tuesday.
I installed it along with Windows 8.1 on Thursday night. Liking it so far. No issues
Cant believe how fast the SSD boots up. Should have done it years ago

Re: Windows 8
Even if it is just the OS, and install everything else on another drive, makes a difference.

Re: Windows 8
I must be about the only one who likes win 8.1 here. I had trouble's with 8 so glad they did the upgrade but it's been fine since and I prefer it over 7.
I got it on my surface RT and I'll have a Nokia 630 soon, an now I'm becoming a fan boy which is a worry.
