Since the release of Windows 8 Consumer Preview Edition, it has reached a surprising downloading amount because of the enthusiasm of users. Windows 8 employs Metro user interface. This design idea is mainly from Windows Phone. In Metro interface, applications and functions are displayed in the form of tile. This is designed for touchscreen and by touching it we can choose different operation. Traditional start menu and taskbar are replaced by a full screen of tiles. More tiles will be showed by rolling the screen. Application, shortcut, document, website, and other content can be customized by users. In addition, Windows 8 also supports a series of gestures and keyboard shortcut keys.
Before downloading and installing Windows Consumer Preview Edition, we should firstly check hardware configuration. Windows 8 Consumer Preview Edition requires a display resolution of at least 1024*768. Moreover, only a few types' PCs support Metro touch interface and function. Maybe when Windows formal edition is released, there will be a kind of more powerful PC.
When using this Windows 8 Consumer Preview Edition, some problems are also inevitable such as disk partition space insufficiency. This situation affects application installing and saving. At this time, we can rely on third-party partition magic to increase partition for Windows 8. In fact, even Windows 8 built-in disk management tool is improved a lot, but it still fails to meet the actual requirement of users. Therefore, to increase partition for Windows 8, the best solution should be third-party partition magic. Among so many choices of third-party partition magic, I believe MiniTool Partition Wizard can be the most outstanding one because of its excellent performance and ease-of-use.
