Windows 8 is simply better than 7, there's no way going around that. the UI works fine for all devices, and once you get used to it, its easier to find things and organize them. W8 is faster than 7, and it has better security.

I personally had no problems with vista, it worked fine for me and looked better than XP...so that's why you should upgrade.

Also, dont judge a book by its cover and dont bash it until you tried it.

OT:The drive is going bad, W8 would support it just like W7.
