    I'm planning to upgrade my ThinkPad X220 (Core i7) to Windows 8 64-bit. If there is anyone running a similar configuration, can you please confirm, whether the built in USB 3.0 port (apparently Renesas µPD720200 chipset) works? Is there any special driver required or is it already included in Windows 8? Are there any possible issues? I was not able to find any information (either positive or negative) regarding this. Thank you.
