How to install windows 8 on a windows 7 tablet

Q

I've installed windows 7 on to a blank desktop PC before but I've never installed on OS onto a PC that all ready has one. Say I got my self a Tablet running windows 7 with the system requirements to run windows 8. Is it simple with on screen instructions to download and install windows 8 off the Microsoft website on to my windows 7 tablet or do you need some technical skills required?

The system has to meet some minimum hardware requirements:

Yes, some preparation beforehand is required, and a moderate amount of technical skill.
Upgrading an operating system is a serious undertaking, somewhat like swapping out an automobile engine.
