Windows 8 was really different from the old versions, mostly because of the new look of start screen. it seemed like it was made more for tablets or touchscreens, which made it tricky to use on regular laptops or desktops. Setting it up wasn't too bad, but it took time to learn, especially at work. It did have some good things, like starting up faster, better security, and syncing with your Microsoft account.

Changing the traditional startup menu of windows OS. It is very confusing when users are not familiar with the interface. It causes delays on daily works. Unlike windows 10 that brought back the familiar startup menu and other functions. Although it has a smooth performance, The quick decision to change its UI confused the users. And because of that most of the users refused to upgrade there OS(windows 7) or when they bought a computer with windows 8 Operating System they immediately upgrade it to windows 10. Overall, windows 8 had some cool ideas, but it was hard for a lot of people to get used to, which is why it wasn't as popular as the versions before or after it.

I found it to be faster and appreciated its features. I especially liked the tile desktop, which felt new and different to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The experience felt quite bland, and the user interface was not very good. Although there seemed to be an intention to improve it, using it felt similar to using a basic pad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about windows about windows was it was simple with "less features". At the end we needed more feature which are there in widows 11 or 10. At the end it was not secure like windows 11 or 10 overall windows 8 was good we still needed something better faster and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Removal of the start menu and start screen interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Windows 8 was a pretty solid upgrade with fast boot times and a clean look. The new Start screen was cool for touchscreens, but kinda annoying for regular PC users. It ran smoothly and had good security, Overall, not bad, just took some getting used to. 7.5/10 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Losing the classic Start menu was a weird choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works well on small devices like tablets and phones. it gives a good experience in those because most of them don't use buttons they have touch screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Windows 8 is not user-friendly and it complicated especially for people who are not that familiar with computers. Let not forget that Windows OS are also used by people who are not computer wizard, people who only want to get the job done. Like the start menu is not clear, there are lot of things happening there, it better only if you know how to use computer shortcut on your keyboard. and is the main reason why lot of people preffer to use Windows 7, 10, and 11.
