    Windows 8, the repeated vista failure

    That is odd. I have installed it on several pc's, from the release previews to the final release. My pc's are older than yours, wolfdale chips with 4 gigs of ram. I have no problems at all. I even installed it on my wife's pc, and she is not a strong pc user. She picked it up in a couple of...

    System Backup

    Well, I am just trying to learn what exactly I am dealing with; I am not certain what will work. Doing the system restore is fine, doing a reinstall is fine. I did not know that the dvd allowed me to do a full reinstall. That is a bit curious, don't you think? Why sell the full version and the...

    System Backup

    Here is what happened, the full story. I purchased the Win8 upgrade CD from a local Microcenter. Since they had the disks for $40 I figured it was a great deal and better than doing the online upgrade, as I would have the DVD. My wife's computer is identical to mine. I built them both from...

    System Backup

    So, I cannot do it with the built in system image feature. That implies that there is another way to do it? Perhaps a free way to do it? Thanks, Rod

    System Backup

    I am dual-booting Win7 and Win8. From within Win8 I am trying to do a system backup of just my Win8 system. However, it won't let me chose just the Win8 partition. Is there any way to do this? Thanks, Rod

    Windows 8 not available??

    I just rebooted into my Win 8 Consumer evaluation OS and did the upgrade assistant. Surprisingly, it worked just fine. It even seemed to let me order the $39.99 upgrade. Is this right? I have been holding off because a local store is selling the box edition for the same $39.99 price and I...

    Upgrade Confusion II

    Thinking more about it, does anyone know if the Windows 8 Upgrade Adviser will tell you if your version of Windows is legit? If the Win XP from Toshiba is not accepted, will it tell me before I spend the $40?
