What system tweaks were used to improve performance on the Windows experience interface? I expected much higher numbers.

I dont know what criteria this WEI is based on but many pple are complaining about the same thing on blogs, including myself; upgraded to a 180 GB SSD drive and still have a low score so go figure...

I'm having the same problem, I think the best option would be to call HP support and they should be able to inform you on this. In fact I think I'll take my own advice on this !

I use Windows Vista and finally got it to run. It was extremely slow to load, in fact, so slow that I thought it hung up. Go to their website and see if your PC has the minimum requirements to run.

Works with Win 7 except if you try and run Windows experience to upgrade the computer rating, the Windows experience program with hangup.

I replaced this with a graphics card with much less RAM (256mb), which made it faster. It depends on what software you are using on whether the increased speed allows for a better graphics setting.

I haven't had that experience, but I am having trouble with the 64 gig memory. I have windows 8 and Office 365 installed and I am out of storage space. Get wierd freezes and messages pretty often now. No way to upgrade the storage either, as far as I know.

I upgraded mine to 32GB of RAM and installed a 1TB SSD Drive. It literally rips !!!!! They can keep all the new W8 PC's.

maybe a little smoother mufti-tasking, but not much on speed .I went from a 6 core to an 8 core didn't notice a big improvement

I have not found that, but after using the machine for a while, I completly stopped using it, because many things do not work well, and I hate windows 8.

All I got when I ordered Version R2013a was the 32 bit version. If the program isn't written to take advantage of a 64 bit system there should be no speed improvement. I don't have any problems running it on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit though.

Have you tried "classic shell" yet. Makes it operate like win 7, but faster. Also boots into desktop vs metro crap. I have not seen thAt metro screen in the 5 months i've had classic shell. But if you still need to go to win 7 you will need a key ($100) and a install disk or usb.

I did. You can refresh to speed up. Google or try this link:http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-8-tip-reset-or-refresh-your-pc

I haven't tried it on windows 7 yet. It struggled a bit with Vista even. I cleaned my internal disk and shut down all other programs and now it works great. You might want to try that as well as turning off your wireless internet search and let the whole intro run without touching anything. Make sure your computer has time to start up and level out, if your CPU usage is too high it may abort prematurely. Try that or talk to a professional. Hope that helps!

I wish, windows 8 is annoying. There are things about it that are more confusing then helpful. Disable the features and you should be able to enjoy your experience.

Supposed to run natively under all flavours of MS Windows; you may have a dud wnic ;-3(

Yes. I was disappointed. I really did not see a speed increase. My friend bought the same one and said there was. However, he upgraded to Win 8 and did clean installs. That was probably why. If want SSD speed buy an SSD drive.

So far it handled everything quite well for me. It is recommended to search and update drivers from time to time even if windows update doesn't show the update.

Games have been shown to run consistently faster on Windows 8 than on Windows 7, but only by a trivially small amount. If you do have Windows 8 and don't like the new changes to the UI, I would recommend installing Classic Shell which will give you back a standard start menu, allow you to disable hot corners and boot directly to desktop.
