Are you one of the lucky folks who has a Samsung Series 7 Slate? These are great touch-based devices for running Windows 7, and understandably, a lot of folks have expressed interest in trying out the Windows 8 Consumer Preview release on them.

Well I have some good news for you. Samsung has published a dedicated page with information on running Windows 8 on your Series 7 Slate:

http://www.samsung.com/global/windowspreview/

The page includes backup and restore information, updated touch firmware and rotation sensor drivers and an installation guide. Of course, for all of the official info on Windows 8, you should visit:

• http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/
  • http://dev.windows.com
    • http://windows.microsoft.com/consumer-preview
    And for folks who might be wondering, the page above is specifically for the retail Series 7 slate, not for the device given away at BUILD last September.
