Windows 7 Upgrading to Windows 8?

[lostsoul65]

I have Windows 7 upgrade, Vista upgrade, XP upgrade, and Windows 2000 full so do I need to load all these OS's to upgrade to Windows 8? That would mean I have to load 5 OS's?

No, you do not need to load all those operating systems to upgrade to Windows 8. The upgrade process typically does not require you to load each previous operating system individually. Typically, you can upgrade directly from Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 to Windows 8 without needing to install all the intermediate operating systems. The upgrade process will consider your existing operating system and migrate your files, settings, and applications to Windows 8. Here's a general guideline on the upgrade paths to Windows 8:

• Windows XP: You can upgrade directly to Windows 8.
• Windows Vista: You can upgrade directly to Windows 8.
• Windows 7: You can upgrade directly to Windows 8.

Therefore, you should be able to upgrade from your current operating system (e.g., Windows 7, Vista, or XP) to Windows 8 without the need to install Windows 2000 or the other OS versions you mentioned.
