Hello All,
New guy (to these forums) but wanted to join as I just got the final version of 8 (Pro x64) installed this weekend. I am having some trouble with it so I figured I would probably get some good tips here or be able to give some tips out. As far as who I am; the name is [infectionzero] and I run an IT dept. at a very large retailer. They just started transitioning to 7 last year!!! sigh... Anywho, I pinned this site so I'll check it quite often. If you have questions about the final version of 8 that I can answer, please feel free to post.
I was hoping however, that someone could point me in the right direction. I upgraded from 7 to 8, used a local admin (even though 8 wants you to use a Microsoft account now) and then transitioned to an @live.com account to make browsing the new store and apps easier. My issue is those pesky Admin Permission pop-ups. WinRAR won't extract to certain locations (e.g. Program Files) so you have to extract, then copy/paste and provide your blessing. Annoying when trying to configure an OS. If this is the wrong section, please forgive but I figured I would get the intro/offer answers/pose question knocked out in one post. Thanks all!
Edit: In case the question arises of how I got the final version already. Students who have access to the MSDN Academic Alliance page (Now Microsoft Dreamspark) have the download available. If you are in school with an account for the software library, go check it out.
