Hello people. I am an experienced fixer-of-PC's, but tomorrow I am picking up an 8.1 desktop which is looping, and from what I read on web yesterday, it can be difficult to get in via safe mode with machines running 8.1, which I may want to do quite early on. Apparently the F8 key input does not work because the bootup is so fast it is done before that input is recognised - really?? I am wondering what else I need to know before I start. I know nothing about the machine - what sort of drive etc - the owner isn't even sure he can find the OS disk, so I fear I am in for a fun time, not. I have worked on a couple of Windows 8 machines previously but not to troubleshoot boot problems. Picking brains on here will give me some hope that I will work out the how-to's. Thanks
