Do you need a touch screen PC to use windows 8 or can it work on a regular pc?
Q. I've been thinking about upgrading my pc to windows 8,but it doesn't have a touch screen, and I've only seen pc's and tablets with tough screens use it. Would a regular pc work with this?
A. It's easy to get the impression that Windows 8 is built only for touch but I can guarantee that it works fine for keyboard and mouse.
I do recommend using the new keyboard shortcuts though.
Windows key (start screen)
Windows + C (charms)
Windows + Q (search - if on the start screen brings up all programs)
Windows + W (search for settings and control panels)
Windows + D (show desktop - oldie but a goodie)
Windows + X (power user tools)
Windows + Z (app bar - can get to all program when on start screen)
The tiles interface you've been seeing is the new start menu and it runs full screen. On a desktop you'll use it as much as you use the start menu so it's not on the screen all the time. There's a regular desktop mode that most users will stay in.
Windows 8 lets you use all the 3rd party software you're used to. It's only the Metro apps that must come from the Windows Store and be approved by Microsoft.

Is it worth updating to Windows 8 if my laptop is not touch screen?
Q. I have a toshiba c650 which obviously is not touch and so should I upgrade?
A. Nope. Windows 7 is much better. Anyone who uses Windows 8 must start over in learning Windows. Windows 8 is very different than previous windows. It is more suited for tablets and touch screen monitors. Windows 8 has made changes to the desktop. There is no start button and there is a new bar called the Charm bar for your settings, and configurations.
I upgraded to Windows 8 and my laptop is still not a touch screen?
Q. What settings in Win 8 do I have to change to enable touch screen? This is the whole reason I upgraded to Win 8
The whole reason for Windows 8 was to enable touch screen use. Can I get SERIOUS answers from people that know this? I just want to know how to make it touch screen.

A. The touch screen function usually built into the notebook's screen. Not many notebooks have this feature. If you want to make it into a touch screen, you may be able to find a touch screen overlay for your size screen. It has a usb cable that plugs into a USB port.
