Hey evryone!
looks like today i upgraded my pc to windows 8.1 ,
and before doing that i checked my pc for compatibility probs using the ms compatibility thingy
and it showed that all the programs are compatible.
and believing that i ran the 8.1 setup and checking the first option that keeps evrything, i moved on to the install.
and in the end all my progs were gone except for their app data and only the files were retained.
[ don't worry i took both a system image and a backup of all my soft ]
then i reinstalled windows 8 again and used the system image and once again, tried upgrading to windows 8.1.
Alas, the same result again.
but, since i want the upgrade so badly, i had to reinstalled 100s of my soft again.
the reason why i posted this was to know why this happens and to learn more about what not to do.
appreciate your response,
thanks in advance,
