Bought windows 8 upgrade, and ran it on Windows 7, I made an ISO boot CD and USB jic.. I used the upgrade assistant setup, and it went through the install, rebooted and came to a black screen with the blue tile logo, and and stayed there for hours..

Formatted hard drive, and attempted to boot clean windows 8 install and it does not load or install, it goes straight to this same logo screen! Very frustrating!


Then I reinstalled windows 7 and tried to upgrade again using the USB I made and auto run, but same issue.


Please help! I this is just so frustrating.


Specs* AMD CPU, and 8gb Ram, UEFI or whatever (modern). Mobo and bios

Welcome to EightForums.

AS you have uEFI, the DVD you made from the ISO, has no uEFI support.

Redownload

Than reinstall.

No need to reinstall old Windows install.

Theog, why will doing it this way include UEFI support but not if you create a .iso during the download process? If this is true doesn't that invalidate the whole idea or creating install media for a later installation?

I've not had a UEFI system yet so am not familiar with it so trying to understand what is happening.

Thanks

my thoughts exactly, and as you eluded to, nothing changed :(

i followed those steps and it still leaves me at the blank screen, I have done several HDD formats and reloads of Win 7, I have no idea what the issue is. Again, extremely frustrating to have my desktop out of service.

If you have a desktop/Tower, try changing the Video Card.

Video card is on board with motherboard, perhaps I could switch from HDMI to RGB during install.


Also I am unable to see that link you posted about the MS Tool not working... :(
