Diana has twice tested Windows 8, once on a physical PC, and again on a Surface Pro. The first Windows 8 video was the first video uploaded to the [[Phillip Adams]]' channel entitled OSFirstTimer. This was said to be an unfair attempt, and was redone in a second episode, at the top of this article.
Diana has twice tested Windows 8, once on a physical PC, and again on a Surface Pro. The first Windows 8 video was the first video uploaded to the [[Phillip Adams]]' channel entitled OSFirstTimer. This was said to be an unfair attempt due to the timing of the video and was redone in a second episode, at the top of this article. Diana described Windows 8 as 'cartoonish' and 'childish' with no appeal on her first attempt (Mainly referring to the start screen which in later videos she refers to as Wall Street due to the tiles moving to display different info) Ben Adams according to Phil said it looked like 'an interactive play school website'. Diana believed that Windows 8 was a step backwards even stating she thought it looked like the first Windows ever. She struggled closing the store apps and transitioning between the start screen and the desktop due to it being so unintuitive and different to Windows XP's single desktop layout. In Diana's second attempt her view was less critical and stated that she believed it worked much better with a touchscreen, although also stated she still didn't like how the OS looked. Diana's main complaint in the second attempt was the fact the 'Shut Down' option was hidden in the charms bar.


Diana also ranked this as the third worst operating system she had tested.

Diana eventually upgraded to Windows 8 in 2013 after many years using Windows XP as her main OS, however used the Classic Shell start menu as opposed to the stock start screen.
