If you have an OEM key like me it will not work. Key must be from MS store or retail.
I like 8.1, but I went back to 8 until they fix the refresh/reset feature and decide to make a clean install easier. I would appreciate an...
I think W 8.1 is a keeper. Upgraded nicely on my MSATA drive. It's a little quicker and I like being able to clean roughly 4 Gigs from the...
Hoping for the best.
My timing is superb LOL. :blink: I just successfully used AX64 TM to do multiple restores for testing purposes. It worked nicely and am ready...
I've also had the same questions about which protocol is the best UEFI vs Legacy. I've installed Win 7 and 8 on this XPS 8500 in UEFI mode....
Win 8.1 preview gave me the local account option because I turned off my router first (no network). Also read about this from other sources, but...
@MudCrab, @Brian, Thanks guys for the info. I guess I'll stick with UEFI since I get the benefit of Secure Boot. Thanks again.
Brian, are you using Win 7 or Win 8? Is there any reason to choose Legacy if you're using Windows 8? I chose UEFI because of secure boot, but it...
Interesting you mention this because I had issues with FF 22, 23 beta 4 and the flash beta. I couldn't get youtube to complete any video I...
Windows 8 x64 1. Standard accounts w/UAC on full 2. Windows Defender 3. Windows firewall 4. Firefox 23 beta 4 with adblock plus, etc...
Agree, this is just another nail in the W8 coffin. I easily reverted back to Win 7.
When you first install it you must use MS account. Once installed I'm sure you can establish a local account, but that's not what I'm talking...
I hope so. :doubt:
I did download Win 8.1 iso. Installed it only to find out if would not allow local accounts. I had to use MS account. If that doesn't tell me...
Could never get completely downloaded. Kept restarting after several attempts. Got as high as 40 percent downloaded and all of a sudden it...
The download and install took too much effort. Been working all afternoon to download, but kept having hitches. Sounds like MS didn't give much...
Yep, that's my approach too. Haven't had a virus in ah. . . still counting.
You're certainly welcome.
Have you tried turning off secure boot and allowed Win 8 to boot after installing UXStyle? Once its booted correctly then turn back on secure...
My wife works for the largest power utility in the nation and their dependence on the desktop is enormous. They're still upgrading to Windows 7....
Well I've reverted back to Win 7 64 bit from Win 8 64 bit. Windows Blue doesn't sound promising to desktop users so here is my security setup....
After some of the things I've heard today about Windows Blue I've decided to leave Windows 8 for Windows 7. My level of distrust toward MS has...
Thanks much, I'm using it now (English version).
Windows 8 64 bit on new Dell XPS 8500. Windows 7 HP 64 bit on Dell XPS 410. Windows 7 HP (32 bit) on Dell Inspiron 6000.
