The first problem I had was that the start screen looked a bit squashed and no Metro apps would load. Once Windows 8 was installing and running, I logged in using my Windows Live ID and it copied down settings from my other install, including wallpaper and some program shortcuts (including pinned web pages).

I chose to do a clean install as I didn’t want any of the stuff on the old machine. I then ran the Windows setup and as with my other experience of installing Windows 8 it ran very smoothly. The Windows 8 install is an ISO so I mounted the image and then the install Windows dialog came up, I find this method of installing a lot easier than burning the image to a DVD and then finding a external DVD drive. To get Windows 8 installed I installed Virtual Clone Drive which is a tool that enables you to mount ISO files as disks in XP, Vista or Windows 7.

So the next PC I tried was a old Acer Aspire One Netbook, this has a 1.4GHZ processor with 1GB of RAM and ran Windows XP. Unfortunately the Celeron processor runs at 800MHZ so bellow Microsoft’s recommendation and Windows 8 would not install, it pointed out that the processor was to slow and didn’t start the install. The first PCs I tried it on was my very old Samsung Q1, this was originally a XP device and I didn’t expect much from it. So having a couple of old devices doing nothing I thought I would give it a try. One of the interesting thing that Windows Division President Steven Sinofsky showed off at the Build conference was Windows 8 running on a four year old Netbook, he said Windows 8 was more efficient that Windows 7 and would run well on old hardware. I installed the Consumer Preview build and that worked just as the developer build, you still still need to set up scaling if you want to use Metro apps.
