Enabled the Hyper-V controller in Device Manager, still unable to create a virtual switch. Re-booted, no change. Disabled and then attempted to uninstall the Hyper-V controller, it remained. Rebooted, and retried, no difference. I am back at same point when I first posted in this thread...

I has one and an extra one that has Hyper-V in it's name the Hyper-V one says it is disabled (code 22). Would enabling or uninstalling the Hyper-V controller be called for?

When I run Hyper V manager normally or as administrator, I am unable to create an external switch, the option isn't available to me. rest of tip is I may not have access to the network adapter. How do I fix this?

pro upgrade works as advertised, will attempt 10 upgrade some other day. Thanks for help.

I won't actually receive the upgrade key until some time this week, so probably next weekend will upgrade.

I am not running 10 and have no access to Edge, but I agree about IE 11. For me, it would occasionally just decide to become unresponsive, and leave me with nothing but a spinning blue circle icon until I restarted or shutdown windows. That was enough for me to use Chrome exclusively as my...

I am currently running 8.1 Core and want to use this windows 8 pro upgrade key to upgrade my windows installation. I have Windows 8.1 install disks, but not 8. Will this work? and does it matter if I intend to do a clean install or only an in-place upgrade? I have only ever installed OS's via...

nvmnd, stupid question. I copied all shortcuts from my original accounts user/desktop folder into new account's user/desktop folder. Pretty much everything works as before. For some reason, I thought there was more to it than that.

So far I have been signing into win 8.1 with my MS account, with Admin privileges. I just added a local account, with standard privileges. I only spent a few minutes in the new account, but I don't seem to have access to some stuff that was installed under my MS account - steam games for sure...

When I started this thread, I strongly suspected my GPU was the culprit, which is why I started the thread in the Graphic Cards sub-forum.My PC will not start up even with the GPU removed and the monitor connected to the motherboard, so I have no idea what the problem could be. Mods should feel...

Problem was not solved. It died earlier today and nothing I have attempted can get it to start up - case fans don't spin and there is no output to the monitor, but DVD writer spins up and HDD activity light comes on. I am currently using my old PC (was WinXP, now Linux) with all the same...

I got my computer case back from the tech shop. I have followed the tech's advice and didn't re-connect my external HDD - it is sitting in a closet right now. I loaded up and played Diablo3 for a few seconds, without issue. That is as adventurous as I am feeling right now, if the problem really...

why is 8forums website removing line breaks from my posts?

follow up to this - after multiple more crashes, and disconnecting and re-connecting stuff prior to restarting, my PC quit working. It crashed and I was unable to get it running again. I took it to the same shop, they connected it and turned it on, and it booted as if nothing had ever been wrong...

It crashed earlier today twice, when I started Diablo 3 game. 1st time surprised me, 2nd time I was sort of expecting. I just swapped out my DVI cable for original VGA cable with DVI adapter, and both got video signal and was able to start up and play Diablo 3 a bit. Maybe issue was faulty DVI...
