What is the difference between Windows 8 and 8.1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well it really depends on a few things such as what you mainly do on you're

computer the most, do you play a lot of PC games, and how familiar are you

with computer OS's generally? For an average consumer Windows 7 would be a

better investment due to the sheer fact that it is very user friendly and very

compatible to any type of computer user. Also Windows 7 is way more

compatible to most applications as it has been out for quite a while and

Windows 8 however is not 100% there with all applications yet. If you're main

focus on computers is strictly working, school, business etc. then Windows 8 is

for you, but it may take time getting used to the OS as it's not just a desktop

feature; another user interface is Metro which has many different types of built

in applications and adds for a whole new appearance and even though it looks

cool it can be deceiving. All in all, I only recommend Windows 8 for more

"experienced" computer users who are patient enough to get used to this new

and odd OS. If gaming is what you're looking for like I said earlier then go for

Windows 7 or even Linux Mint, because both are very compatible to any type of

user.

How do you run dev-c plus plus on Windows 8?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't run either DevCPP or Windows 8. However, I did some checking around and found the following answers. The related links to them are provided beneath this answer.

1) Run DevCPP in Windows XP Compatibility Mode: right-click the icon and select "Run in earlier versions of Windows"

2) Update DevCPP (see the SourceForge related link below)

The problem seems to be that you're running an outdated version of MinGW GCC.

If neither of the above answers help, try a Web search for devcpp "windows 8" or devc++ "windows 8".

Also, keep in mind that Windows 8 is still in beta development, so expect errors and problems to crop up. I'd recommend sticking with earlier Windows versions until at LEAST a service pack gets released if you continue to encounter technical difficulties and are unable to find answers on the Web.

How do I open my phone to view its files in Windows 8?

Asked by Wiki User

Connect it via a USB cable to a spare USB socket. Windows will recognise it as 'an external mass-storage device' - and treat it like an additional hard-drive. You are then free to navigate through it as you would do with any other disc drive.
