Collectively, we are all very excited by the innovation and creativity that will arrive in market this October. Our engineering collaboration has been better than ever as we work to bring better performance, reliability, and battery life to new PCs designed for Windows 8. We also know many are interested in how we extended this process to a new generation of PCs built on the ARM platform.

Releasing Windows 8 – August 1, 2012

- 270 views
Today marks an important milestone in the Windows 8 project. The Windows 8 team is proud to share with you that a short while ago we started releasing Windows 8 to PC OEM and manufacturing partners. This means our next milestone will be the availability of exciting new models of PCs loaded with Windows 8 and online availability of Windows 8 on October 26, 2012. Back when we first demonstrated Windows 8 in May 2011, we described it as “reimagining Windows, from the chipset to the experience,” and that is what Windows 8 (and Windows RT) represents for both Microsoft and partners. The collective work: from the silicon, to the user experience, to new apps, has been an incr…

Printing is one of the most common things we do with our PCs even as we read and work with more online resources. We set out to simplify and improve this common operation--working with partners across the ecosystem to deliver these improvements in Windows 8. This blog post was authored by Adrian Lannin, a lead program manager on the Printing team. --Steven Of all the peripheral devices that you can connect to your Windows PC, printers are one of the most popular, and have been supported for the longest time. In fact, Windows 1.0 (shipped in 1985) supported “a number of printers and plotters” and included a “Print Spooler [which] allows the user to work on one f…

Full version of Win 8 Pro is now seen as an upgrade, and after refreshing my operating system I can't activate the license
by Guest MarkOgne- 0 replies
- 217 views
I purchased Windows 8 Pro from Costco quite a while back, a little after the operating system launched. I've updated my system a few times over the years and used the same disk. In fact, my account.live.com account shows me as having access to the upgrade of Windows 10 Pro. Today, I refreshed my operating system and I'm receiving error 0xC004F061, saying that the disc is for an upgrade. This is 100% not the case. How do I get past this? My objective is to get back to Windows 10 Pro, but doing that appears to require that I have an activated version of Windows already installed. Thanks in advance! Mark Continue reading...

Hi, If I take pictures on my Ipad and I put the pictures in files on my Computer with Windows 8 everything works normal.

(I don't understand why they not fix that). So far nobody has a a solution and I don;t know what to do anymore. I don't work with photoshop. Continue reading...

Windows 8.1 Product Activation with Windows 8 Upgrade Key
by Guest robert062- 0 replies
- 201 views
A while back I had purchased a copy of Windows 8 Pro (more specifically an "Upgrade" copy) for a custom PC build that had Windows 7 installed. Progressing through the usual installation and successfully upgrading to Windows 8 Pro, I was informed that Windows 8 was not officially supported by Microsoft anymore and that I needed to upgrade to Windows 8.1 to continue receiving security updates and such. After updating Windows 8 to allow me to upgrade through the Windows Store, I got a notification about downloading and installing Windows 8.1 Pro, and without any noticeable problems at first, the upgrade went smoothly. Though, after upgrading, my Intel HD Graphics driver…
