This is where your way of thinking will only harm you going forward. Don't automatically believe the hype from the "it's cool to hate Windows 8' crowd. I've been using it since it's release, and it's actually a very good OS, once you install a Start Menu replacement app. There is absolutely NO reason to be afraid of Windows 8.
Now, I'm not bashing Windows 7, as that is also a very good OS, so I am not telling you or anyone else that they should upgrade right now, but there's no reason to fear the upgrade. I put it off on one of my three computers until I did a major system upgrade, as I would have done a clean install of the OS anyway. It was a good time to make the switch, and I haven't looked back.
