Summary. With every Windows release, customers face challenges when it comes to picking the correct Windows version

 

With every Windows release, customers face challenges when it comes to picking the correct Windows version. And while Windows 8 is no different in this regard, it does at least offer the simplest product lineup we’ve seen in over a decade, with just two mainstream retail versions–Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro–being offered alongside a version for ARM‑based devices that’s called Windows RT.

The addition of an ARM‑based variant of Windows 8, sold only with new Windows‑based devices, is perhaps where things get trickiest. Picking between such a device and a PC based on more traditional Intel‑compatible chipsets can be difficult, but not insurmountable if you understand the differences and issues.

Also, for the first time in many years, you’re going to want to pay close attention to the hardware peripherals and sensors that come with your PC or devices. Windows 8 and Windows RT are far more useful when used on a machine with the latest hardware capabilities, so be sure to shop carefully, regardless of which Windows 8 version or processor architecture you choose.
