(command and conquer renegade,pariah,unreal tournament,call of duty old one(united offensive,,and the new one,medal of honor old and new games,crysis,crysis warhead,crysis2,crysis3,far cry3,Bioshock infinite)

i hope to receive your reply about the games,and if i can use my pc normally without touchscreen.
thank you for your help so much

How do you get your windows 8 screen to stop swiping when you are doing other things. Glad you aren't having this issue and it would help me greatly if you could give me tips on making mine stop interfering with everything else.IMO, no, it's not worth it to upgrade a machine running Win 7 to Win 8. I'm not one of those Win 8 bashers, I have a laptop that came with Win 8 and I have no issues with it. I think if your machine is running fine with Win 7 there is no compelling reason to upgrade, at the same time, I don't see any reason to hesitate when purchasing a new computer with Win 8 pre-installed.
How do you get your screen to stay on the games? I can't get mine to stay anywhere. It switches every few seconds.Definitely a clean install.
We have seen lot's of users posting with issues after an upgrade so try and clean install if you can.
I'm an avid gamer and most games will run fine, If they don't often compatibility mode will do the trick.
HEy drew. This is linda. How do you get the screen to stay put on the games and not swipe (I don't have a touch screen) back to the windows 8 home screen. I have a laptop.Hi, (sorry, I don't know your name)
I will answer your questions:
1. YES, you can use you PC very nicely for Windows 8 w/out Touchscreen
2. Here's the link to Windows 8 info - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/meet#t1=livetiles
3. MOST things that run on Windows 7 run on Windows 8. MOST, meaning almost all.
4. Largely what we hear is that games run even better on 8 than they do on 7.
5. In answer to your thread title (please, is it worth it to upgrade from windows7 to windows8)... short answer, YES!
6. The Microsoft site may not tell you what games will run in Windows 8. Go to the game's web site for such info.
Cheers,
Drew
Do you have a laptop? The touchpad may have certain areas that are designated to bring up certain features such as the start screen or charms menu.HEy drew. This is linda.

Lapatop. It doesn't matter where I use the touchpad, it still goes from screen to screen. If you want charms to come up, they won't. I have to get into a game to get to to appear.Do you have a laptop? The touchpad may have certain areas that are designated to bring up certain features such as the start screen or charms menu.
