So the just the logo on the windows key is it?

I think that's it, but I'm not certain, I think we have some members who have the Windows 8 keyboard who should know for certain.

 

See Dell has updated their site now to include only Office 2013 as options when ordering.... Seem to of removed the option to include adobe acrobat X with it though right now like they did with office 2010 options.... Adobe X Recovery Media is still an option though so maybe they haven't finished finalizing all the tweaks to this.....or am I missing something?...

I just ran the assessment for Windows Experience Index in a new clean install of Win 8 Pro. I have a nVidia K5000m video card and IPS screen (Covet). I have 24GB of DDR3-1600 Ram. The score of the Graphics and Gaming Graphics is 7.6. Is this typical for the K5000M? I am running the latest drivers off the nVidia site, not from Dell.

thanks,

That seems reasonable. I got 7.7 for both.

 

Thanks.

With Windows 8 in the dock, I see nothing on my external monitors until at the welcome screen. With Win 7, I would see the dell logo and could also hit F2 or F12 in the bios. Now, If I want to do F2 or F12, I need to look at the laptop display. Anyone know if that is nomal? Is that because I now have the following settings in the bios:

Changed Boot Sequence to UEFI
Under advance Boot disabled legacy support
Under secure boot enabled it.

thanks,

Mike

 

I've had M6700 with both keyboards. The only difference is the Windows key logo. For what it is worth, I've gotten the Windows 8 logo key even though I got the Windows 7 sticker and Windows 7 pre-installed.

 

3840, K4000, 16G 1866, Win 7 -- I get: proc. 7.7, RAM 7.9, graphics 7.6, gaming 7.6, disk 5.9

 

Curious. Since the WI caps all HDD at 5.9, does that limitation apply to all SSDs as well? In other words, is there an SSD limit/cap? From what I'm reading it would appear it does.

 

SSDs can go up to 7.9 on Windows 7 or 9.9 on Windows 8. (Those are the max values for all scores on Windows 7 and Windows 8.)
