Nope, I had installed Core & it came with CoreConnected apparently. Superfly was able to pull up all the information on the key including what OS it's for, I was using the wrong one. I was using Core instead of CoreConnected and therefore had to go download a copy of the OEM CoreConnected...

Product ID: Not available I had removed the license with slmgr /upk because I read that if it was removed it was supposed to allow you to use the key or some crap. So I gave it a shot. didn't work. EDIT: And by license I mean the license I had used for the install

I also ran this: slmgr.vbs /ipk YOUR_OEM_KEY using my key however it told me this. Error: 0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069' to display the error text Except according to Computer Properties its Windows 8.1 & that's all. When I...

Hey guys, Sooo my laptop originally came with Windows 8.0 on it, I then wiped it and ran windows 7 and tonight after wiping Linux Mint off it I decided to go back to 8. So, I was unable to locate a copy of Windows 8 retail but I found Windows 8.1 Retail. So I am now running that however it...

It was horrible lol I got rid of 8. Last night around midnight it started giving me WiFi problems which continued throughout today until i just couldn't use the WiFi anymore. Reset the system back to factory and it started working again. Then i used 8 long enough to get 7. Now i'm running 7...

But even though that issue is solved i'm still wondering why my PC never uses 1GB of the 4GB ram i have... It always says 3.89GB usable but it never uses anything more than what it says..... What's up with that? What can i do about that? I'm sure i'd have less trouble if it actually utilized...

Alright good to know.

Yeah it is lol CPU utilization hasn't changed. It's still the same but i've seen it like this on multiple windows 8 laptops... Which is weird because i NEVER saw that issue with Windows 7.

It seems to be ok now, I ran AVG PC Tuneup and it seems to be running really good now. It's not freezing but this isn't the only laptop with windows 8 that i've seen with the CPU issue staying between 90-100% all the time with no reason. This is actually the second or third laptop i've seen with...

Like i said... It's not even firefox. Like i said. It's been like this since the fist startup when i got it in the mail. I have 1 Firefox extension ( Colorzilla ), I have the latest FF Version. Yeah i realize it should run it fine. But it doesn't.. and i don't understand why. Damn Dell.... God...

I don't like IE, It's not secure enough. there's so many bloody exploits in that piece of garbage.... I'll never use that. Ever. I use it once on every PC to download firefox. Chrome runs way too many background processes its a resource hog... and since I'm having enough resource problems i...

OK i just updated my BIOS with the BIOS update tool that was on Dell's website for my System. It wasn't much of a BIOS update, It went from A01 to A02 but it's updated. Product Support | Dell Canada It already had windows 8.1 on it when i got it so i would assume that all the drivers are up to...

i know that's not the problem. This issue was long before i installed VMWare. This is an issue that started as soon as i started up the laptop the first time after i got it in the mail (Bought it from the Dell website).
