I am all done and up and running on my test machine. Hope they have improved it.

Tried the beta of it and it was still as bad as Windows 8.

Not going to bother with Windows 8.1 since it still will not work with all the games I play, still will not accept a overclock for benchmark runs.

Not to mention Windows 8 has also been removed as a valid version of Windows on HWBot so Microsoft are going to get, people buying or cracking Windows 7 so the can run the benchmarks again.

I just hope that Windows 9 or what ever it ends up being called doesn't suffer the same problems, either that or game developers and benchmark creator's start working with Linux so I can, stop giving money to MS for software that needs to add on's for it to work properly or requiring you to buy, a new motherboard.

what games don't work ? I do not tend to play old games anymore and all the new ones ive played except one work fine and the one the did not did not work on 7 either

Most of the Call Of Duty games don't work on it properly for me, some of the Need For Speed, Crysis and a few others.

I think also it may be down to the fact that Windows 8/8.1 also doesn't like my motherboard, SSD and sound card.

Don't play Call of Duty, but I've had no problems with any Need For Speed game or any Crysis game though. I will say that I have not overclocked my machine though.
