        If you know computers it is a good product. A friend of mine who is a geek had a little trouble with it but eventually was able to figure it out.

          This version that upgrades from the basic version of Windows 8 to the Pro version removes the remote desktop users group from the group policy users list. The Windows 8 Pro version that upgrades from a previous version of Windows does not remove this group. I would not recommend this version to anyone who needs the remote desktop users group as a user group. I could not install my Windows 2012 Server Connector software on my Windows 8 Pro desktop PC after installing this upgrade.

          Installation process is very straightforward, but installation on a Lenovo Twist initially failed (several attempts), finally worked after first completing updates from Lenovo.

              Misleading, documentation-- I had already installed Windows 8 Pro and thought this was an expansion package. Would not download to Win 8 Pro; and could not get credited for the 2 items I purchased from Staples, because they were ESD(Electronic Software Downloads); had to EAT the loss.
