Re: windows 8 RTM Question(s)
Hi,
I'm running the RTM and it is compatible with most things that ran under win 7. However, this certainly isn't the case for everything.
I'll give you an example. I have an HP B110a all in one wireless printer which ran fine under win 7. Under win 8 though the windows 7 drivers won't install properly but Windows 8 Pro RTM carries it's own drivers so in the end I didn't need them.
Like anything new there is always going to be hiccups along the way although usually there is a solution to be found somewhere..
