Change from windows 8 single language to windows 8.1

hello,
i just bought a new laptop a Samsung laptop to be specific and it came with windows 8 single language activated but i cant see the update to windows 8.1 i need help! please

Hi,
According to your description,you cannot see the update in your store.
If you’ve opened the Store and you don’t see the update, it could be for one of these reasons:
1.You might need the latest updates from Windows update.
2.Windows Store might not be showing the latest content.
Please refer to the following article:
Why can't I find the update in the Store?

Downgrading from windows 8.1 single language to windows 8

Hi, i want to downgrade my laptop pavilion g6 2231tx from windows 8.1 single language to windows 8 which came in default with my laptop.
My question: since my lappy came pre installed with the windows 8 (64bit) and then got upgraded. So if i refresh my pc via the recovery partition on my HDD will it revert back to win 8 or do i have to use the recovery discs i made and will i lose my entire data on C:
Reason : i am facing a lot of issues with my laptop recently specially while gaming i never faced any issues with gaming earlier when my lappy was running win 8 no lag or drop in fps as such but since i upgraded (which was against my will as microsoft one fine day decided to throw win 8.1 down on my face) . Some how was able to get the amd radeon switchable graphics back up and running but it seems it has no practical use over there as such
apart from that my computer has degraded in performance since i have upgraded i tried to use win 8.1 since the past 1 year just coz it had all my programming IDE loaded and removing it would just be all the more hassel but even those applications have started responding really slow now most just take up hell lot of load time.
my system specs are :
2.4 GHz Intel Core i3-3110M processor
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7670M (1 GB DDR3 dedicated)
Looking forward to your early replies. thanks in advance

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I am not going to try and talk you out of doing this -- you are the administrator.
You might be in for a rough ride regardless of which path you take back to Windows 8.
Standard Refresh removes your installed programs and your installed Browsers -- the security programs -- everything that is not "bare bones" -- and that assumes that it will work.
READ please and know what you are trying to do:
HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows8) - c03538721
The Recovery Partition may -- or may not -- still be in working order. The Upgrade to Windows 8.1 may have destroyed the Recovery Manager.
Before you do ANYTHING, please back up all your data to an external drive -- back up your most critical data to more than one place, perhaps to a USB drive or to Cloud >> somewhere so you can get to it.
What if your home made Recovery Disks do not work?
You might call HP and see if you can purchase a Recovery Set. Because you have a working computer right now, you might make the call BEFORE you take apart your Operating System.

Locking this discussion.

Hello,
I have bought Lenovo laptop with Windows 8 Single Language recently and it's showing the Windows 8.1 update is available.
My doubt in this regard is, While installing will is asks for product key or not.?
And whether the preinstalled apps like office13 McAfee will remain or removed from system..?

If your PC is running Windows 8 or Windows RT, it's free to update to
Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1. And unlike previous updates to Windows, you'll get this update from the Windows Store.

Change from PS single app to photography program

Hi!
I want to change my PS single app (25€ per month) to the photography program (12€ per month).
I tried to contact by telefone but no one answers and the support chat is not available everytime i try.
Is there any other way to contact you?
best regards
Sven

@Noel,
Yesterday Adobe opened up the program for all customers as a special Black Friday deal... The offer is available only for a limited time as Curt pointed out, although the low price rate for the bundle doesn't have an expiration.

Windows 8 upgrading to pro from standard/single language edition pricing, whats your thought on this

Hi All
Being in the Tech industry and working day to day life of users issue i have noticed that, even though uncommon, i would need to upgrade from windows 8/8.1 to Pro, and my clients, with this general question, Why is it so expensive if i already got windows
8, shouldnt it have most of the features and now we just buying the addons? Basic response is yes they are right but you're actually purchasing a WHOLE key and not a partial key from MS. But it does leave a section of question, why should i spend $118 - 140
to upgrade to Pro when most of the features are already built in?
Shouldnt microsoft upgrade the key and just install the missing features at a lower price ? e.g if single licensing is $90 and pro is $110, they charge u $20 instead of $110. I understand it about money and such, but i believe more people would upgrade to
pro easier if the price was adjusted like that instead of it current strategic plan of a full price of Pro just to gain some basic features like Domain ability.
Whats your thoughts?

Hi，
For windows 8.1 as an example, you need $99.99 to add the Windows 8.1 pro pack and get the
Windows Media Center and the power of Windows 8.1 Pro.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro-Pack/productID.288392300
As I know, Windows 8 pro has added some important features such as Hyper-V, GP, VHD, bitlocker, domain..etc which are essential for business management\small organization.
You can find the comparison list in the following link
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/products-and-technologies/windows-8-1/compare/default.aspx
We don't have the "power" to change the price :) so I just want to share the links above with you and hope you can understand the value of Windows 8/8.1 pro.

My tabs abruptly change from tabs to new firefox windows.

When I have several tabs open to different website, clicking on a particular tab frequently leads firefox to change the tab into a new instance of firefox, that is, a new window. This began happening a few weeks ago and seems to be happening more frequently. It happens on different computers also.

Welcome to the discussions,
a manual backup will help:
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

The network location profile changes from "Domain" to "Private" in Windows 8.1.

I have a network which is centered around a Server 2012R2 installation with the Server Essentials Role installed. I have installed and configured a DNS server which points to the router and open DNS as forwarders.
There are 3 physical computers on my network and two additional virtual ones (the vm's are hosted on the server).
The server shows the domain profile.
VM1 - Server 2012R2 virtual machine core install hosting a SQL server - it shows the domain profile
VM2 - Windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation - Shows the domain profile
Desktop - Windows 8.1 pro with media center - shows the domain profile
Laptop - Windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation - shows private profile
Surface Pro - Running Windows 8.1 pro - shows private profile.
They all have network discovery enabled for all network types.
As I was writing this my surface randomly shifted to domain again. However my laptop shows private (I am writing this from my laptop)
This is a problem because it appears my devices are having trouble finding and discovering other network devices because of this.
All of the devices have the same gateway, dns settings, and subnets settings.
All of the workstation except the VM server have the server essentials connector installed.
Please let me know if there is any additional helpful information I can provide to get this resolved.

IMPORTANT: I found the solution. Another user figured it out and posted the answer on another thread.
Please spread this around to all other Outlook support techs so they know to point people in the direction of the quick (though very obscure) fix to this problem.
See this thread for how to disable graphics acceleration in Office, which iswhat causes the rundll23 error.

Change from CS4 on XP32 to Windows 7 64

I want to take advantage of doing a fresh install of 64 bit OS to use RAM to its fullest. I have done compatibility tests thru windows with CS4 Production Premium and it says that it is not compatible. Are there any updates to when there would be a patch, or is there an alternative. I have tried to find Vista 64 but not having any luck with 7 everywhere.
If I can use CS4 with 7 then problem solved, I see some people are having problems with installing individual programs within the suites
AMD Phenom llx4 3.2
8G 1333 Ram
Any help would be apprciated
Bill

ASUS P5Q Motherboard
2.40 GHz Intel Core2 Quad Q6600
8 Gb RAM
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
SAMSUNG 500 Gb Hard disk x 2 (not RAIDed)
2 x optical drives (DVD writers)
ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics
Java 6 Update 17 32-bit and 64-bit both installed (though see in list of
what I've tried!)
Adobe CS4 Design Premium DVD edition: attempted install, first time:
extremely slow process with Javascript errors (png clippings attached)
which meant I couldn't click on any dialog buttons (because there
weren't any visible) so, even if I clicked to 'continue running scripts
on this page' I couldn't tell it that I had put the second DVD in.
That's when I started the phone calls to Adobe.
Carried on trying whilst waiting for Adobe on the phone. Essentially
the same, repeated, javascript errors over and over again.
Tried uninstalling CS4, then uninstalling Java (both versions),
reinstalling Java (one version), reinstalling CS4 - failed again, try
the same process with other version of Java, failed again.
Adobe suggested I copy the DVDs to my hard disk to provide an
installation source on my hard disk (ie a workaround to avoid having to
click on the non existent dialog button to tell the machine I'd put DVD
two in the drive). So I did that. Then, after about four attempts to
start the process, eventually I got it started and some of CS4 installed
- Photoshop was working, Acrobat was working... I hadn't tested
everything and I asked Adobe (in a support request online - I did not
want to go through the phone call hell again) to tell me what I should
see in my Start Menu under 'Adobe' for the product I have (Design
Premium). They never answered that question.
Yesterday I tried to open Fireworks. It wouldn't open with an error
about localized resource files not being found... advised to repair or
reinstall. (I can't see the error message again - I uninstalled
Fireworks with a view to reinstalling but I can't get it to reinstall at
all... error messages again as in the 'again some more' png file
attached. All I got was a range of different errors - firstly one which
said the installation source could not be found (it's on the hard disk
where I put it the first time) then it seemed to go past that and simply
fail to install - presenting me with a red 'x' in the box and a
suggestion to press a button for more information... which just
generated more javascript errors when pressed so I got nowhere.
I am now faced with an incomplete installation, can't get Fireworks to
install, am too scared to uninstall what I've got just yet as I may well
be unable to reinstall it at all (if the Fireworks experience is
anything to go by) and don't want to lose all the functionality.
What I'm currently doing: downloading the trial version of CS4 Design
Premium in case my very first supposition was correct (which Adobe just
completely ignored when I phoned them) - that the DVD media in my CS4
Design Premium box were, in fact, defective in the first place. Having
read so many others having installed on 64-bit Win 7 without problem...
and not finding other people with similar error messages despite
Googling lots... I suspect Adobe just sent me dud disks and didn't want
to accept that. The download is huge - and I'm on the end of over 8 km
of copper wire with a slow internet connection - so it'll take all day
and night to download.
I plan to deactivate... then try to uninstall (though I'm not sure even
that will work!)... the install the trial version and activate it using
my serial no. What do you think? I then plan to write to Adobe's CEO
to complain about their appalling customer support telephone service
(they just argued with me about whether or not I had the JRE installed -
telling me that I didn't because the Java download was different (I was
right, it was installed, they refused to accept that)).
I'm very frustrated and just want it to work!
Huge thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this.
