Product details

Offered here as an exciting upgrade for Windows 7, XP or Vista, Microsoft Windows 8 Pro is an innovative new operating system re-imagined to focus on you! Windows 7 software and devices are completely compatible with this upgrade, so making the switch is easy.

It's all about you

Put what matters most on your start page and highlight all your important apps and sites. Spend less time searching with instant access to your favourite programs.

Personalise your Windows 8 by pinning your favourites to your Start screen and arranging them the way you want. The information you care about flows to you through live tiles and timely notifications.

Intuitive touch screen

The stunning fast and fluid Windows 8 start screen is optimised for touch and works great with a mouse and keyboard for quick navigation. Precise control is literally at your fingertips.

Multi-task


Snap two apps side-by-side and multitask. Chat with a friend as you scope out a map, or watch a video whilst writing an email - your options are almost limitless. Use great apps such as Mail, Calendar, Photos, Messaging and more for swift organisation.

Tap and Do works on mobile devices and allows you to simply 'tap' two devices together and share information.

Keeping your information safe

Your data will stay safe thanks to Windows 8 Pro. Windows Defender helps to protect your computer against malware and viruses, so your PC can stay safe from attacks. Pro has the added advantage of Bitlocker, which helps to keep your data safe. This offers encryption of data so that you can keep your personal information and files away from prying eyes.

Store more


Store your multimedia on SkyDrive and access your files, photos, videos and more. Wherever you go, you're connected to the cloud. Anyone you share your computer with can have their own cloud-connected access by signing in with their own Microsoft account.

You can also easily connect to your company or school networks, making it easier to work from home or complete homework.

Apps galore


Browse and discover thousands of apps in the Windows Store. Try before you buy, read ratings and reviews, and share your favourites with your friends.

Less energy, more power


Windows 8
Pro is designed to deliver a great experience across a range of different devices, from ultra-fast desktops to low-power tablets. It can run on low-power CPUs so you can work for much longer on a single charge.

Beautifully designed for your connected lifestyle, Microsoft Windows 8 Pro provides you with a world of opportunities.
