Little bit offtopic, but reletad to email app in Mtero UI (Win 8.1) I do have outlook and gmail set-up in mail app. How to set that when I open app it opens Gmail as primary ?

Tnx :)

A little bit of topic, but is it possible to disable option to remember passwords for each site ? It really annoys to me answer on any new site login to choose not for this site, Chrome has option to disable this, but haven't seen ut on IE?!?

Hmm, f I activate Windows no, will I be able to activate it again for about a month, when I wil install official 8.1 for public ? Enableing secure boot is not an option since I have plans to install Fedora.

OK, installed Windows 8.1, MUCH better than Win8, way to go MS! So made bootable USB with Rufus, GPT partition scheme with UEFI compatible, FAT32 format. Not all drivers have been installed correctly(but mostly worked, including WiFi), but I have manually download all of them earlier, so no...

Just a quick note, NTFS is not possible with GPT partition scheme for UEFI, Rufus refuses to make those settings. It is only possible with MBR partition scheme for UEFI/BIOS. Will report how installation passed, will do it in a few days.

Thanks for all helps guys !

Ok, than no worries :) When I want to create bootable USB with Rufus for Surface Pro, I need to select GPT partions scheme for UEFI and FAT32(or NTFS?) format?

I think than the best would be Acronis True Image or some similar tool. So now I am thinking, restoring Surdace back to stock, and than make a acronis image back on a USB ? But, I am also thinking since I DO NOT NEED any data and/or apps on a current setup, why I need to do any backup. I can...

Ok, last question, what if I make USB recovery, like described here and than completely format drive, so erasing all portions. Will recovery via USB than work? Anybody can test? And what about dual boot, since I have 70+GB free ?

Thanks for all info, tomorrow I will create a USB partition with this tutorial Increase Surface storage space | USB recovery drive for Surface After that will put on another usb iso with this tut(Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way). I think that should work

So alphanumeric, what you want to say is that if I save recovery to USB I should have no problem?

Well, currently I have 2 recovery partitions, so one would be deleted, (the first one) but the main should be untouched in my opinion. Here is mine disk management screenshot

By clean install I mean booting ISO from USB not that I will simply just kill whole HDD, just windows partition. Just found smth about recovery partition "As long as you keep that flash drive safe, you’ll be able to boot from that drive and restore Windows 8 exactly as you had it when you...

What's the difference, I believe in both ways it formats windows partition?!?

Tnx for the link. I have read before how to copy recovery partition to usb, but didn't know if I could make a fresh install via it. Since this is OEM "PC", I can do that(at least that is what link says). So probably I can easily recover back when needed. Will try to make fresh install via that...

What is actually recovery partition, is that an image of the whole OS? I can backup it on separate USB, if it's an image...

Download Windows 8 ISO install it and validate it ? I don't need to save any aps and/or data! Plus I really think it won't be deleted since it is hidden and I can choose while installing (I hope so) what partition to remove/format/delete !?!

Yes, it is separated from windows c, and hidden. But I can see it in disk management utility. I would use 8.1 just s trial, and then on 20th Oct would "recover" back to win8. I think that should work ?

No need to, since I have ISO. I can install them as a normal, fresh windows, just need to disable secure boot. Later, I can format again and put fresh windows 8 and update via store ?
