• Paul Thurrott stated that the 1 Gigabyte
minimum requirement for RAM for the
32-bit version of "Windows 8.." and the
2 Gigabyte minimum requirement for
RAM for the 64-bit version of "Windows
8.." is "ludicrous".

36
37
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS..(continued)
• To determine if an old "Pentium 4"
computer is capable of running
"Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation",
you can download and run
Microsoft's free "Coreinfo" program
by following our "how to"
instructions at
http://aztcs.org/meeting_notes/winh
ardsig/win8/old-computer-Win8.pdf
38
THE "WINDOWS 8 ENTERPRISE
EVALUATION" IS A TRIAL OF A VERSION
OF "WINDOWS 8" THAT YOU WILL
NEVER BE ABLE TO PURCHASE!
• But it is close enough to the
versions of "Windows 8" that
you will be able to purchase that
it is a great learning and testing
tool at a fabulously great price
(free!).
39
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
"..ENTERPRISE EDITION" AND THE
OTHER EDITIONS OF "WINDOWS 8.."
• See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows
_8_editions

40
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
"..ENTERPRISE EDITION" AND THE OTHER
EDITIONS OF "WINDOWS 8" (continued)
• The evaluation and "real" versions of
"Windows 8 Enterprise" have
"Windows To Go" which lets you
create bootable USB flash drives
and bootable USB external hard
drives.
• No other edition of "Windows 8" has
this feature.

WAYS FOR YOU TO TRY OUT THE "WINDOWS 8 ENTERPRISE EVALUATION"
• Method 1:
Install it into a real computer.
• Method 2:
Install it into a virtual machine.
• Method 3:
Create a "Windows To Go" USB flash
drive or external USB hard drive. Then
use this device to non-destructively
boot up another computer.
73
WAYS FOR YOU TO TRY OUT THE
"WINDOWS 8 ENTERPRISE EVALUATION"
METHOD 1: INSTALL IT INTO A REAL
COMPUTER
• If you have a spare computer
handy, you can install "Windows 8
Enterprise Evaluation" into it. See
our step-by-step instructions at
http://aztcs.org/meeting_notes/winh
ardsig/win8/win8-installinglocal.pdf
74
WAYS FOR YOU TO TRY.. (continued):
METHOD 2: INSTALL IT INTO A VIRTUAL
MACHINE
• Step 1:
Install a free virtual machine
program such as "VMware Player 5"
or "Oracle VM VirtualBox 4" into your
existing "Windows XP"(or higher)
computer.
75
WAYS FOR YOU TO TRY.. (continued):
METHOD 2: INSTALL IT INTO A
VIRTUAL MACHINE
• (Step 1 continued):
If you plan to use your "Windows 8
Enterprise Evaluation" virtual
machine to make bootable "Windows
To Go" USB hard drives or USB
flash drive, use "VMware Player 5"
instead of "Oracle VM VirtualBox 4",
76
WAYS FOR YOU TO TRY.. (continued):
METHOD 2: INSTALL IT INTO A
VIRTUAL MACHINE
• (Step 1 continued):
because of the superior reliability of
USB support for "VMware Player 5"
virtual machines relative to the USB
support of "Oracle VM VirtualBox 4".
77
WAYS FOR YOU TO TRY.. (continued):
METHOD 2: INSTALL IT
INTO A VIRTUAL MACHINE (continued)
• Step 2:
Install "Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation"
(32-bit version or 64-bit version
depending on the actual processor in
your host computer) into a "virtual
machine". See our step-by-step
instructions at
http://aztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig
/win8/win8-installinglocal.pdf
78
WAYS FOR YOU TO TRY.. (continued):
METHOD 2: INSTALL IT
INTO A VIRTUAL MACHINE (continued)

You can then use this device to non-
destructively boot up most "Pentium 4" or
higher computers with "Windows 8
Enterprise Trial"
