Most PCs will be running some version of Microsoft Windows.
Windows 8 is the latest version of Windows produced by Microsoft and is intended for use on personal computers, such as home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and media centre PCs.
Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system and introduces a new touch-friendly interface, featuring a new start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles that represent applications.
The Start Screen is now the place to find all your apps and replaces the start menu found in previous versions of Windows.
Due to popular demand, Microsoft re-introduced the start button they had previously removed. The start button now appears on the desktop and allows the user to go back to the start screen rather than the start menu.
Windows 8 provides more integration with online services and introduces a new Windows Store where different apps can be downloaded. Free and paid apps are available through the Windows Store. These apps are optimized for touch screen environments and have smaller scope in relation to desktop applications.
Windows 8 is available in four versions depending on where you are using it.
Windows RT is a version of the Windows 8 designed specifically for mobile devices such as tablets.
Windows 8.1 is intended for home users and is most likely installed on your new laptop or PC.
Windows 8.1 Pro is aimed towards enthusiast users and professional environments such as offices, schools & colleges.
Windows 8.1 Enterprise is aimed towards larger business environments and large offices.
