Let me tell you first,you should know that the user experience of windows 8 is gonna be completely different from the other previous version of windows.
Just after Microsoft launched Vista Edition, most users were completely burned out because despite of the looks and features it was never better than the good old XP and pretty much the same case in case of windows 7 too.So if that makes you already hate windows 8, i suggest you to try it,learn it,figure it out and then judge it because when it comes to technology the last thing you wanna do is to become resistant to the changes or else you will be left behind before experiencing any.
So according to my suggestion before you try any new softwares,first install it in a Virtual Machine so that it doesn't screw up your system.
A Virtual Machine is a software platform which supports the execution of a complete Operating system.
So lets get started.
