Windows 8: Overview & Windows 7 Upgrade Procedure

Imagine it's October 26, 2012 (it's turning 12 in a few days, fun fact), you just came home from your retailer with a copy of Windows 8. How might the upgrade procedure (from Windows 7) go for you? Today, we explore this by doing an overview (of a copy I got from eBay) and performing the upgrade on the Dell Vostro 270S machine.

    Run Time Error 200 (Divide by Zeroin the CRT unit if I remember correctly) is usually caused by a bug in older versions of Turbo Pascal and Borland Pascal compilers (version 7 and earlier). That happens when using a program coompiled with those Pascal versions on a computer with CPU speed higher than 200MHz. I guess this is your case.

    Windows Vista and SSD don't mix unless you figure out how to do your trim housekeeping. Windows 7 sp1 and above are more optimized for that technology. I would recommend using Western digital black instead. Sure it's slower over all but it won't slow down like a solid state will not doing proper trims!

    For Windows NT 4.0 and prior, the boot partition had to be equal to or lesser than 4GB. This is because it created the partition as FAT16 first using an unsigned integer and 64KB cluster size (DOS used a signed integer making 2GB and 32KB cluster size the maximum partition size), making this variation of FAT16 non-DOS compatible. Then if the user selected NTFS, it would convert the file system on first boot. You would see this as a message that looked similar to performing a CHKDSK operation before the GUI loads. Beyond that, all other partitions can be up to 16 exabytes in size in theory.

    .DWG files are Adobe drawing files, .bip files are motion files from 3DS Max .xls files are Excel spreadsheet files balance sheet to be exact, .gex files are system interchange files + unknown chipset driver. The 2004 Tax Cut is probably accounting files disk, and the reason for the various versions of TaxCut is because the developer hadn't allowed for updating the database with new tax codes. It may have been intentional as a way to keep charging for their software. The WPQuiz is most likely a Wordperfect document for a handout quiz. Anyway you can google file extensions keeping in mind that most of the programs they are for no longer exist.
