I just purchased a Nokia Lumia 820 phone with Windows Phone 8 and my main computer is running Windows 7. I already own a Windows 8 license but I downgraded to Windows 7 after having some issues with Windows 8.
I am willing to give Windows 8 another try if there are any benefits in using Windows 8 along with Windows Phone 8, does anyone know any?
I don't have the phone with me, it will be shipped during this week, next week on the latest.
Thank you in advance.
