Moving from Windows 7 to Windows 8 will require exactly 11 clicks. This is what Microsoft promises a long article on his blog dedicated to its next operating system.
Supporting figures, it is explained that the upgrade to Windows 8 would save 82% of clicks (and thus information screens). In time, we would thus 21 minutes for installation against 32 minutes to go from Windows XP to Windows 7. And yet, 42 minutes, it was for the simple upgrade since the choice of the user, it could wait ... 9:00! Now it will not exceed 52 minutes to save its configuration, and update Windows.

Another important change is the removal of the stage had to enter the long activation code. To do this, Microsoft will promote the "dematerialization" of the update with the download of an ISO image including a unique pre-built code.

Objective: to convince the 450 million users with a computer can upgrade to Windows 8 to perform this update. Microsoft and therefore includes all those who remained in XP and Vista when configuring their computers have allowed them to move to Windows 7.
