X220: Cant Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

Hi all,
I cant seem to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on my X220.
Originally during the install it states "This application wasn't installed - view details".
Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0xc0000005"
Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0x80246007"'
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Rambler

Hi,
According to your description, Windows 8 Operating System installed on your computer, right?
Did you update to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store?
If yes, follow Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, check if your computer meet the prerequisite.
After that, try to install Windows 8.1 for test.
If the issue persists, according to this blog to troubleshoot:
Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now you're annoyed)

Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

Hi
I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
Thanks Portozzygirl

More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

Help Needed :- Upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on W540

I have tried repeatidly to upgrade to Windows 81 from windows 8 and it fails I get the driver power state failure error and error codes 0xc1900101 0x40017 .
After 4 failures , i deleted drivers for Prinfing (pdf / printer drivers etc ) and some others i didn't note tried to do the install and it worked, except the first time i rebooted after logging in , it would not boot into windows 8,1 driver it came up with the driver error messages again and i was given the option to reset to factory defaults and i did.
After restoring to factory defaults i tried the upgrade and it failed again.
So can you help me , in how do i upgrade to 8.1

"I bought a ThinkCentre M83 which had a downgraded windows licence (windows 8.1 pro downgraded to windows 7 professional)." -
"... Now you want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 that was originally offered when you purchased the computer. The only way that I am aware of that would be possible is to purchase a retail version of the newer operating system. "
I would say either you did not understand it well / or you gave the wrong info. If Lenovo Think(Pad/Centre) has Windows 7 Pro downgrade preload (but Win 8 / 8.1 Pro licence):
- user gets media for Windows 8/8.1 Pro included with your Think(Pad/Centre) (I think until December)
- or now you must order it here (free if entitled)

It is pointless, and just adds to the confusion, to name your listener anything other than the default name of LISTENER
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
Client requests to 'localhost' (or its ip address of 127.0.0.1) never leave the client machine. Hence, any listener configured for that address will never receive a request from any other machine.

You've thrown out a huge amount of detailed data, but showing a variety of errors, and combinations. Overall, I get the impression you are confusing remote vs. local connections. Please read the following, then come back and let's focus on one error at a time.

I cant instal windows 8.1 from windows 8?

so I went to a local pawn shop where I bought my new laptop.... it has windows 8 already on it but to use any of the apps and stuff it wants me to download windows 8.1 from the store... so I went to the store clicked on it and it says "before you can
get on windows 8.1 from the store you need to install the latest updates from the windows update"
so I went to the pc settings and went to updates checked for updates and it says I have 118 updates so I started them and went to work and came home to configuration failed reverting back or something like that and it was there for 3 hours!!! I just want
to be able to use windows 8 to its full potential I really like the way it is and would be disappointed if I couldn't over something like this ::::cccccc

Try running the Windows 8.1 Update troubleshooter.

Cannot install windows 7 (downgrade from Windows 8.1 on Lenovo U330 Touch)

Hello.
I wanted to downgrade my new Lenovo U330 Touch from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 (x64 Home Premium). I followed the instructions from this previous forum post...
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/U330-Touch-Downgrading-to-Windows-7/m-p/15...
I accidentally deleted the partition with Windows 8.1 on it by mistake. Good riddance to it.
Now, when I try to install Windows 7 from the boot sequence, I get the message saying that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style".
How do I install Windows 7 please?
Solved!

I have tried this a few months ago. You can study the steps and try it on your unit.

Restore Exchange 2007 SP3 to Windows 2008 R2 from Windows 2003

Perhaps I'm being dense, but I had Exchange 2007 SP3 installed on a Windows 2003 Server, and I've used "setup /mode:recoverserver" to restore it to a Windows 2008 R2 server... how do I restore the databases which I backed up with the Windows backup tool
on 2003?
I installed KB974674, the restore tool onto the 2008 R2 server but when I try and restore the backup it comes up with "this feature is no longer supported". Something I'm missing here?

These things marked as answers are not answers.
I have now thoroughly tested using setup /mode:recoverserver and it works fine going from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 SP3, done several installations now without a problem.
"Setup /m:RecoverServer cannot be used across operating systems. A server that was originally running Windows Server 2003 can be recovered only on Windows Server 2003, and a server that was originally running Windows Server 2008 can
be recovered only on Windows Server 2008."
This appears to be wrong, unless someone can tell me why it's right (I haven't tried moving Unified Messaging yet). I've done it to 2008 R2 several times now and also in the other direction, from 2008 R2 to 2003, I can't find anything that didn't work
afterward, although I haven't really thoroughly tested OWA yet, I admit (but it does appear to be working).
I think that documentation is out-of-date as it doesn't mention R2 plus I think it was written before SP3 came out and that paragraph is just wrong.
Basically how I do it is like this:
Dismount databases from the 2003 server and copy the storage group folders to a network location or removable media.
Install the Windows 2008 R2 server using the same machine account that was being used by the 2003 server. Install the prerequisites needed for Exchange 2007 SP3 installation on 2008 R2 (note in addition to the IIS components and RPC over HTTP this
also requires the AD tools in RSAT, which I haven't found mentioned in technical documentation). Install the relevant windows updates.
Install Exchange 2007 SP3 using setup /mode:recoverserver Install the update rollup.
Copy the storage groups into the relevant folders on the new server and mount them. Migrate any relevant certificates (e.g. for ActiveSync).
Obviously then check it all over with the diagnostic tools and check it with EXBPA. The backups are obviously totally different, but really I think you should be using DPM anyway.
To me that was pretty easy to do, to be honest. About 1.5 on a scale of one to ten. Basically install it, recover it, copy over some files and mount them.
Seriously on a halfway decent server I've done it in under an hour.

Windows 2012 Activation from Windows 2008 R2 KMS server

Hello,
We have 2 KMS servers in our Domain. One has server has KMS key for Windows 2012 KMS installed and other not.
I have joined first windows 2012 server to domain and its been 3 hours the server is still not activated from KMS server.
When client contacts KMS server for Windows 2012 licnese, if key is not installed on first KMS server, will it automatically contact second one? Do I need to change sonmething?
One more question:
Is it possible to have Windows 2012 key installed on the same KMS server, which is already acting as KMS sertver for Windows 2008R2? and Windows 2003 R2? or wil this cause any issues?
Mahi

Hello,
Once a KMS host is activated, it will publish it's record to DNS. KMS clients attempting to activate will query DNS to get a KMS host, if there is more than one, they will use the first one they get. The DNS server should be rotating which records
it hands out.
If they activate, they will cache that record and attempt to use it when they renew, if they fail to renew or activate, they will query DNS for the KMS host again.
Since this is a new KMS host it will need at least 5 KMS clients to contact it meet the count needs for Server.
What version of Windows is the other KMS host machine is it Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 or is it Windows Server 2003 R2?

Windows Native Authentication from Windows 7

Has anyone successfully tested SSO with Windows Native authentication from a windows 7 client ?
I have a working setup with SSO on OID 10.1.4.3 but with windows 7 client I get the fallback login prompt instead of automatic login.
I have got a workaround from support but it still does not work:
- on the client Windows7 PC to to PC security policies (Policies -> Network Security -> Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos) and select all of them EXCEPT the “Allow future types” option;
- change the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\SuppressExtendedProtection = REG_DWORD with a value of 3 (please take a backup of the registry settings before any change).
Thanks // Kerstin

Can't activate Windows 8.1 from Windows Store Upgrade.

I have updated one of my client's computer to Windows 8.1 by the windows store after first reseting the Windows 8 from the Windows 8 Settings. After the update, the computer didn't activate and was asking for a product key. I have went ahead and opened up 'slui.exe 04' to activate the computer and get redirected to a microsoft agent after typing the IID. The microsoft agent said the computer needed to be activated by the manufactur. I then called the manufactur for assistance on this activation problem, and I get told I will need to pay for additional things like Virus Protection, and 24/7 tech support.. I'm trying to finish this computer up for a client, have it wiped and cleaned. I'm the technician helping her backup her data, clean, and wipe the computer. I need to pay at least $99? Thats just like asking to pay for a licence. A Windows 8.1 student licence is $69.. I shouldn't have to pay extra, and suffer without any money in offer back. I even told the tech support person on the phone that all I needed was the product key that was available with my computer, not extra tech support that already has what I know what to do if it occurs. I already know what anti virus programs to use and how to help my clients use them, I don't need assistance on fixing my or my clients blue screens or othe issues. I said to my client that my services are cheap all the way down to less than $30 and will be solved in less than two days. This computer is the only computer that wouldn't take it's embedded BIOS activation key, and automatically activate. I was asked to pay over $100, and I won't. I just need my client's computer to be activated to who ever (s)he is going to give it to.

If you upgraded using the MS store, then it is Microsofts responsibilty, they should have given you a new Product key for 8.1.
