My system spec
Windows7 ultimate 64bit
dual core e5200 2.5ghz
4GB transcend ram@dual channel
Nvidia GeForce gt 520 1GB
DG31PR intel board.
I want to install windows 8, i have the min req. fulfilled but later i don't want my system slowing down because ill be using heavy AutoDesk and Adobe application. I fear the compatibility of the programs may match or not and also that it may hinder my performance.
I'll be help full if anyone who uses autodesk and adobe applications can tell me what to do and what are the alternatives.

Not a complete answer, but try the Win 8 Upgrade Assistant. And, check on the compatibility of the programs you are concerned about on their websites. See if the manufacturers claim Win 8 compatibility or offer updates. You also might find this forum link interesting.
