Well... you mean Windows 8 Enterprise N on the torrents? I do not recommend downloading it, some of them include malware/trojans + other bad stuff. I would recommend downloading the http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/3997-windows-8-release-preview-download.html

Regarding about the touch screen thing; some features in W8 do require Touch Screen, but it'll work fine without a touch screen.
Also, your system specs will handle W8 fine!

Upgrade from:To: Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit)
Windows 7You keep programs, Windows settings, user accounts and files
VistaYou keep Windows settings, user accounts and files
XPYou only keep user accounts and files
Credit for making the table above goes to Brink.
That should clarify any questions about files, user accounts etc.

I'm not sure if I understood your second question correct... Do you mean "Will W8 format my hard drive and I'll lose everything I have on my hard drive?" Or something else?
