Hi
For the first time I have purchased an upgrade instead of the full version. It installed ok, but I am having one or two issues. For some reason, although in power options I have it set to 'shut down' on the power off, it shuts down then sometimes within a few minutes or in a few hours (during the night usually) my pc turns itself back on! When it turns on it says 'resume from hibernation'. But no where in the power options have I got it set to hibernate! The other issue is that occasionally I get a BSOD. Im guessing this might be something to do with my Brother MFC-5895 printer which uses windows generic drivers as Brother have not developed their own yet. But Im not sure.
What I wanted to ask is....can I re-format my hard drive using the windows 8 upgrade disk or do I have to use my windows 7 disk and then upgrade to W8? I thought maybe if I do a clean install, it may improve things.
