I successfully managed to install 8.1 32bit onto this setup: i5-8600K Z370XP-SLI 960 NVME That was very easy to do and it works well (BTW, 30% faster than the previous Windows 10 32bit I had on there). The problem I have is to do with Updating. I am *not* getting any Unsupported Hardware...

My cousins laptop was running Windows 10, she sent it in for repair and they 'fixed it' by reverting it back to 8.1. I spoke to Microsoft support and they said I'm able to upgrade it back to 10 for free, however I'm unable to find the 8.1 product key (it's not on a sticker and she doesn't have...

Hello There. A few days ago my Laptop crashed and refused to boot again. It just gave me the 0xc000225 error message. First I tried to repair it with the help of an Windows 8 installation disk. I ran the bootrec commands in the console and also tried the standard startup-repair, but nothing...
