I'll save you the trouble... Don't bother, it's crap.

If you really want to know, put a cheap HDD in place of your win7 drive & install 8.

I'd say within 20mins of using it, the cheap HDD will be smashed to bits due to windows 8 usage rage.
It's like road rage in bumper cars. Only your computer gets smashed up.

download VMWARE (Virtual Machine), its free

install VMWARE and then install win8 on that

try it out if u dont like it just delete the win8 image under VM

BTW in my opinion also win8 is pooooooo. :)
