Hello

I'm one happy man

After installing Windows 8 on a laptop and making sure it works, I've now installed it on my Main Stars! Computer.

I went from Windows 7 Home 64-Bit to Windows 8 32-Bit Release Preview.

I'm running a Intel 2 Quad CPU @ 2.33GHz with 6GB of memory that's a few years old with a 60GB solid state primary drive and 700GB hard drive for data and 3 monitors.

1. I when to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso and downloaded the 32-bit(x86) ISO image. It's 2.5 GB so it may take a while.

2. After it downloaded I right-clicked on the file and selected Open with Windows Disc Image Burner and burned the ISO to a DVD.

3. I then BACKED UP MY COMPUTER.

4. Set my computer to boot from CD Drive and restarted.

5. Booted to Windows 8 Install and entered the activation code from
http://www.forumswindows8.com/windows-updates-activation/win dows-8-release-preview-product-key-different-language-iso-65 48.htm

6. Select Custom Install and pick the drive.

7 After it's running I install Dropbox and then started Stars.exe and the computer asked if I wanted to enable 16-Bit mode and I clicked OK.

Now it works like a charm. Full screen Stars!.
