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...

Superior performance for video and audio processing unseen on this planet except me
by Guest Marjan_920- 0 replies
- 259 views
Hi all,I had a dramatic performance increase in windows 8 regarding audio and visual. I am sure of this since I used this lucky PC for neurofeedback (Brain Machine Interface). Nothing else on the market can come close to what I had, it simply cannot be compared at all. It passed nearly 7 years since then so I am looking to discuss with someone relevant in Microsoft on this topic. You may find more details back then when I was writing about this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/dramatic-performance-increase/d9a720e3-9522-4e3f-bd02-9040143038aahttps://community.intel.com/t5 Continue reading...
