Hi guys,
I bought lenovo Z580 yesterday, which comes with windows 7 home basic preloaded. But a lot of cool features are missing in home basic edition. So I was thinking to upgrade my OS to windows 8 pro, under microsoft's upgrade offer. But I have some doubts before requesting for an upgrade. I hope you guys will help me as you did before.
1) Is win 8 upgrade a good idea? Are the drivers working well? Any known issues with lenovo ideapad series + win 8?
2) If I upgrade, will I still be able to use win 7 home basic key?
3) Windows 8 key can be used for fresh installs or I have to upgrade from win 7 home basic and then use the key?
Please help me clear my doubts.
