Windows 8.1 had to be refreshed after crash. Are info stored in apps gone?
by Guest JudyHsieh- 0 replies

Hi.I have a Windows 8.1 laptop which crashed. Windows would not load after that, and it started looping from restart to troubleshoot to restart, etc. None of the options worked, including using recovery disks. In fact, it looked like it wasn't even recognised. In the end, the only option was refreshing or factory resetting the laptop. Thankfully it worked, except it uninstalled a bunch of programs that I just spent a whole day trying to reload. It's not finished but I got the most important ones done.But now I am wondering whether the info stored in the apps are still there or lost with the un Continue reading...

Recently, my father installed a pirate copy of Windows 8 on a 13-year-old laptop (originally running Windows Vista). Because I’m a Microsoft 365 Family subscriber, I’ve created for him a Microsoft account and installed on his laptop the Microsoft Office (of course it doesn’t have the latest updates because it needs Windows 10, but it works just fine with the 2004 build).It worked fine for him for about three days, but them, it appeared a message saying that his account was blocked, and he had to reactivate (which I did) by a SMS phone code. I suppose this had occurred due the fact that his Win Continue reading...

Computer slow and trouble with wifi
by Guest DanaAckerman- 0 replies
- 406 views
My windows 8 has been soooo excruciatingly slow. I have a defrag set for every week, I've gone through ally startup stuff an made sure I have barely anything running. I don't have games or anything on the laptop, just a couple cheaper adobe programs (not even full Photoshop or illustrator or anything like that). I feel like I've tried everything. When we bought this they told us it was supposed to be pretty fast, but I don't know if it has ever not been slow. Now I keep having trouble finding wifi and things just seem to keep getting slower. What else can I try?? I've done all the updates, tho Continue reading...

Is there a way to reset Sony Vaio desktop running on Windows 8?
by Guest Gabriel Tuy- 0 replies
- 408 views
Hi, both my parents own a laptop (bought around 2019) that they both use as their main device and I figured I could take their Vaio computer (bought around 2015) since it was still in good condition. They've backed up the data they had on it a while ago (around 2019) and I'm ready to reset it, but I'm finding that the f8 key doesn't work. It still runs on Windows 8. Additionally my parents have misplaced the password for it so I can't enter their file or make a new admin file. Is there any way to reset the computer without logging in? As bonus information- this desktop uses a wireless keyboard Continue reading...

Hey Everyone, So I've been suffering with a lot of issues and every time I try to resolve one I am prompted with another issue. Firstly. I was prompted to update my windows which I did and after like an hour it asked to restart in order to install. I did so however after a long wait to 99%, it said something along the lines of "windows cant configure reverting changes". SO i decided to call it a day and do it tomorrow hoping it would get better. But its been three days of "update and reverting changes" loop. I eventually put it in safe mode, deleted the current update and started normally only Continue reading...
