Final straw...
Tried to d/l the release preview, and copped a faulty iso.
Another member of this forum took pity on my poxy 8GB/month
connection, and mailed me a copy.
Just installed it....nah, f#ck that!
Set up OK, then logged onto here to PM the bloke who sent me the
disk to thank him....but nooooo.
Locked up. So rebooted & tried again. Nyet.
AND again. And again, nyet.
THEN wouldn't pick my Win 7 sysimage when I went to restore...?
Win 7 64-bit is fresh-installing as I type.
The super-lappy is only six months old, and is only half a step back
from cutting-edge, lappy-wise, but it HATES Windows 8. (See my
system specs. Or not. IDGAF).
I'm posting on my old Penryn 2Ghz dual-core running Win 8 CP 32-bit.
on 3gb and Intel 4500MHD graphics. As purchased, it was a Vista machine.
They LOVE each other, for some reason, and the combo has never been an issue.
So, I'll be hacking the 32-bit CP to keep it alive as long as possible.
As for the RP and the RTM....no, sorry, NEVER going onto the super-lappy.
Or this. Not in my lifetime, AAR.
