Can't upgrade to 8.1 from Windows 8
by Guest SarahJohnson6- 0 replies
- 190 views
hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this and help me find a solution. I've been trying to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 with no luck. I just purchased an older laptop with Windows 8 installed and want to upgrade to 8.1, but the download link in the store says I need to perform updates first. However Windows update shows no available updates (my understanding is that Windows 8 is not supported at all). I've searched with Google and all over the forums here but can't find an answer. How can I upgrade to 8.1? Thanks to anyone that can help. Continue reading...

Hi! I deleted the Qualcomm Atheros 61×4 Wireless driver from my laptop in hopes of fixing my network issues. But now I'm unable of reinstalling it. I've tried by looking for changes in the hardware, but nothing shows up. I looked for the driver on Acer's page, copied it to a USB and then passed it to my laptop. I then followed the steps for installation, and restarted my laptop after it was done. However, once it restarted, the driver did not appear as installed and the laptop was slower than before. I have an Acer Apspire V Nitro in Windows 8. Continue reading...

Automatic Repair Loop

Hello, a week ago I found an old Dell laptop of mine that runs Windows 8. I wanted to still use it, so I downloaded a couple game/apps, nothing big. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. I remember shutting the laptop off while it was updating something (I'm unsure if this is why this happened or if it was something else that I can't remember) then returning an hour later. When I turned it on, the moniter showed the dell logo with automatic repair on the bottom. After 5 seconds or so, the screen goes black and it stays that way. I spent all night looking at videos and reading forums, but my situation is different. I want to keep all my files/downloads,(unless …

Hello! I have a laptop with 2 storage drives (hdd, ssd). Originally windows 8 was preinstalled on the hdd and the ssd was only used by intel rapid start technology.

I would like to migrate the system to the new ssd. Is it possible to do this with a recovery media? How can I specify the install partition for windows using a recovery media? Continue reading...

Hard drive crashed, need to replace, don't have disks, easiest way to get Windows 8 on new SSD?
by Guest Alucard55- 0 replies
- 242 views
Hi, I'm submitting this via my chromebook because my sons HP Envy TS 17 laptop, with DVD drive, crashed. It is a hard drive failure so I would like to replace it with a new SSD. I know how to install the new SSD but I don't have an operating system. His computer came with Windows 8 so I thought that would be best to install on the new SSD. Also, for only about $7 I can buy the HP drivers disc that will install all of the needed drivers. So, I thought it would work out best to install Windows 8 rather than 10 or even 8.1. To do this, I need the OS first. What is the easiset way to get/download a copy of Windows 8? I can use another laptop PC and download the OS on a fl…
