    Is there anything that would be expected to not work in an upgrade to Windows 8 on a DV8? Will drivers be available?
    Thanks

    Thanks justin, I probably will be needing the new drivers as well.

    2009 dv8 still running like a champ :)

    Too bad HP doesn't have another 18.4 in there laptops.
