Hello,
I upgraded just yesterday to Windows 8 from Windows 7 (I'm still banging my head against a wall for doing so...). Windows 7 seemed to run flawlessly on my Series 7 Slate, and I figured with the design of Windows 8 it couldn't really hurt.
I'm having major issues, specifically with what I think is all being caused by pen input. I use my tablet for a lot of writing, using OneNote. However, it appears to me that my pen is not being recognized as such, but rather just a mouse. For example, in the "Tablet PC" Control Panel tab, when I click "Setup" and try to use pen input it doesn't work, but if I select touch input then it does. I tried installing the pen driver manually with no success. How can I get this working? I'd really like to give Windows 8 a full try, but this is getting very frustrating.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Solved! I stumbled across this page in my search: SAMSUNG PC Windows 8 Upgrade
It contains only basic information, but the software upgrade tool was what I needed. I could see that the Wacom digitizer driver was in fact installed but not functioning properly, so I uninstalled the necessary software via the Control Panel and reinstalled using the upgrade tool. All seems well now.
