Download Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB976422) from Official Microsoft Download Center Do you guys know of a similar update for Windows 8.1? My micro-sd card worked just fine with Windows 7, but I've been having some issues lately. edit: sorry if this is in the wrong section. :o

Yeah, I already downloaded the latest touchpad drivers. I can live without one gesture, though, especially when the rest of the touchpad is really smooth. I noticed two new things: brightness issues and sleep issues. I cannot change the brightness at all (only when the computer is unplugged...

So I finally finished upgrading to 8.1 and I'm impressed! So far, I haven't had any major issues. My only complaint is that I lost the ability to do three-finger gestures with the trackpad that worked when I previously had Windows 7; although, my trackpad feels insanely smooth otherwise. There...

Hello Brink, Thank you for your response. I appreciate you taking the time to do this. As for the DVD playback, I currently use VLC. I'm assuming that it will work just fine after the upgrade? As for Secure Boot and MSE, I understand now. Do you know anything about Windows 8 locking people...

Hello everyone, I apologize if these have been answered elsewhere. I purchased a Windows 8 CD last year, around the time of its launch, for about $15. I installed it but there were a number of problems that I ran into; I got locked out of my laptop, couldn't log-in despite entering the correct...
