📎 AI Summary:
The original poster is considering installing Windows 8 Pro on a Samsung Ativ Smart PC, asking whether it will receive updates like the Microsoft Surface Pro and if the S Pen will still function. A respondent confirms that updates should be timely regardless of device type, but admits uncertainty about the pen's compatibility with the stock Windows 8 Pro installation. Overall, the discussion centers on update reliability and peripheral compatibility for the modified device.

Hello again.

thank you for the help last time.

I decided to buy the samsung ativ smart pc, because the surfice pro is not available in my country and I

don't have a credit card.

and the guy at the store said that i can install windows 8 pro on the device, but my question is this:

if I installed stock windows 8 pro on the samsung ativ smart pc, would it get the updates on time like

the microsoft surface pro ?

and will the s pen still work if i installed stock windows 8 pro on the samsung ativ smart pc ?

thanks in advance.

You should get the updates at the same time everyone else gets them. WU are not dependent on the type device you have.

Don't know if your pen will work, sorry.
