The program had a fault starting and crashed while running. I called the store to see to see what purchase options there were considering the program would not run. They connected me to MS Support for free upgrade help. This is normally a $99 help call. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Tech logged onto my machine & got me through that step. It took well over an hour. Maybe over two. I bought the upgrade key and downloaded the upgrade. Today I call them back and they will install it on my box. Normally I would do this myself, but the offer for them to get it done and past the inevitable problems is irresistible.</div>
<div><br></div><div>MS Tech support said Windows 8 should run on ANY computer running Windows XP SP3 and above.</div>
