Windows 8 (1-License) [Boxed]

The Familiar made better.
The desktop.
The desktop that you’re used to – with its taskbar, folders, and icons – is still here and better than ever, with a new taskbar and streamlined file management.

Security.
Stay up to date and more secure with Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, and Windows Update.

Speed.
Windows 8 starts up faster, switches between apps faster, and uses power more efficiently than Windows 7.

Why download Windows 8?
It goes where you go.
Your pictures, files and settings are easily synced through the cloud so you can get to what you need almost anywhere.

It plays as hard as it works.
Windows 8 gives you the poser to quickly browse, watch movies, play games, polish your resume, and pull together a killer presentation – all on a single PC.

You keep all your files
If your PC is running Windows 7, your files apps, and settings will easily transfer to Windows 8.

You keep familiar programs.
Programs that run on Windows 7 will run on Windows 8.

• If your PC is running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can get Windows 8 and enjoy all the features Windows 8 has to offer.
• The Start screen- Everything you care about most is on the new Start screen. Tiles on the Start screen are connected to people, apps, folders, photos, or websites, and are alive with the latest info, so you're up to date at a glance.
• Your Windows, everywhere- Sign in with your Microsoft account to any of your PCs running Windows 8 and you'll immediately see your own background, display preferences, and settings.
• Mouse, keyboard—and now touch- Windows 8 is perfect for PCs with only a mouse and keyboard, those with touchscreens, and those with both. Whatever kind of PC you have, you'll discover fast and fluid ways to switch between apps, move things around, and go smoothly from one place to another.
• Millions of streaming songs*- Windows 8 also includes the Xbox Music app, which gives you access to a whole world of music.
• Apps from the Windows Store- Windows 8 comes with a new store for apps, the Windows Store. Open the Store right from your Start screen to browse and download apps for cooking, photos, sports, news, and a lot more—many of them free.
