I was having problems with my HP laptop which is 2 years old. So I just did a recovery and put it back to the original factory. It seems to be working fine. The next thing I want to do is installing Windows 8. I have the CD for 8 which I purchased from Staples when it first came out. Since my computer is 2 years old and I have it back to the factory setting, there would be hundreds of updates if I were to update it as it is now. My question is: Since I have the Windows 8 CD, is it necessary for me to take the time to install the updates for Win 7 which is on there now, or can I just us the CD and install Windows 8 as it is now? When I install 8 I will do the clean install.
