This has been a controversial change, with some users finding it difficult to navigate.
Another major difference is the integration of touch screen technology, making Windows 8 more suitable for use on tablets and other touch screen devices. Additionally, Windows 8 has improved performance and faster boot times compared to Windows 7.
Overall, while Windows 8 has received mixed reviews, it represents a significant departure from previous versions of Windows and offers a more modern and streamlined user experience.
