Windows 8 - Yea or Nay?

<< < (6/16) > >>

pwhodges:
I just tried to install Windows 8 (64-bit) on a machine that turns out to have only a 32-bit processor.  The message that the install program gave was:


--- Quote from: Windows 8 installer ---Your computer needs to be repaired.
It does not have a 64-bit processor.
--- End quote ---

I think it might be getting snarky with you.

pwhodges:
So I tried the 32-bit.  Setup lets me select regional time and keyboard options for the UK, but not language, which can only be "English (US)".

jwhouk:
I guess you don't see the humor in that. At least you get to see all the pretty colors and everything.





(subtle language joke)

pwhodges:
Ha ha.

It seems that although regional settings and input methods are built in, the "display language" has to be downloaded and installed via the control panel (or what passes for the control panel in Windows 8 ) for all other languages.
