Windows 8 disc

I have program that runs poorly in W7 I was told W8 ran less CPU intensive. Is there a way to install it and buy the license after I know it works?

I wonder what Layback Bear has asked.

However; you could instead go straight to Windows 10 and you can upgrade for free at the moment (it is still a new OS and better to wait a while for the upgrade, but better than Windows 8 I believe). Just make sure you image backup your current Windows 7 installation with Macrium free (or any other paid app you may have) - Imaging with free Macrium. If it doesn't cut it for you, you could just reload from your image back to Windows 7 in a matter of minutes (depends on how big your C drive is).

I was out tonight I tried to post but didn't have a good signal.

The program is Izotope RX4. To explain in more detail, the computer has been running Vista HP 32. I use it for audio recording and processing only. All other programs I use seem to work fine Sound Forge, Vegas, Izotope RX2 and Ozone 5.0 but ever since I got RX4 it has been the buggiest program I ever use.Seems like every other process gets a "not responding" error’ and last anywhere from a few second to 15 or 20 min. I have been in contact with their support members and I was told Vista was not supported. So I installed a fresh copy of W764 and it seemed no better, who knows maybe a little. So it was suggested that it was either my processor ormemory that was slowing down RX4.

I have had 4g of ram from the time I built the machine like 7 years ago. I did my research and found 2 sticks of the exact memory on eBay and ordered it.However until today when I tried to install it I had forgotten about the 4g maxfor 32bit systems.

On another forum where many people use this software a member said W8 ran a little better than W7 for him. So rather than buying another copy of W7 I figure I’d get 8 and the free upgrade sounds great. I want the full version, I’m tired of installing software.

I have been using Macrium for years now most reliable backup software I have ever use.

No they said Vista didn't, or "not supported". I will try W7 again now with a total of 8g of memory and if its even a little better I'll get W8 and make it work.

Try compatability mode for XP as you said even Vista was not supported.

Is there a reason W8.1 full version is cheaper than 8.0?

I know this is from Walmart. I know about online vendors.

I googled it and there seems to be some issues and many W8 users are not updating.

So I'm a little unsure if I should stick with a new copy of w7. Like I said I want a full version so I can upgrade my current copy of Vista.
