I've upgrade a 4 year old sandy bridge i5 desktop a few weeks ago that was running windows 7 and it runs really nice (thought it would be slow for an old cpu), but I had lots of problem getting it to install. Did all the update and the MS tool said it was not up to date but all upgrades were done. After 1/2 a day on and off playing with it I chatted with ms's online help and he just added something in the registery and I was ready to update. Everything went fine until after it finished and rebooted I lost all net access (wired and wireless). After another few hrs I fixed that and been using it since. I'm not a windows person, as my Primary computer is a 4 year old MacBook Pro. But seeing how smooth it runs on such old hardware, I'm actually impressed with the new OS. I would recommend everyone who runs windows 8 to upgrade as 8 is very confusing to me.
