If I upgrade from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1, will it have any affect on my Client Hyper-V XP Pro VM That I have installed ?

The same way that you would on a physical machine - select shutdown, not logoff.
The other option is to do it from the Hyper-V manager. Turn off is like holding the power button on a physical machine - it just powers off. Save puts the vm in a saved state which is quick to restart. Shut Down does a system shutdown of the vm, and
requires a reboot when you start it next time.

Premiere Pro CS3 (Version 3.0) will not start following upgrade to Windows 8-- rest of CS3 is fine

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro;
next time I tried to open Premiere Pro 3.0 (Adobe Master Collection CS3), splash screen scrolled normally through files being loaded until "SolidComposite.AEX", where it white-screened & crashed.
Tried removing that file, it crashed on the next ".AEX" file; removed all ".AEX" files, it began crashing on ".dll" files;
kept removing THEM, just for the heck of it, until the software loader couldn't even start.
I popped in the CS3 disc to repair the installation-- on the entire suite, for good measure;
re-booted & started Premiere-- crashed at the exact same point.
Uninstalled and then re-installed Premiere-- the entire suite in fact, since there are so many common processes;
couple of hours later, re-booted & started Premiere-- same exact thing at the same exact point.
I found this same problem in at least a half-dozen threads, going back to '07--
and several of them even mentioned the same exact file as the trigger for the crash!
Unfortunately, not one of those threads has ever ended with an accurate diagnosis of the problem,
nor a solution more insightful than reinstalling both the CS & the OS.
I don't want to abandon Windows 8...
but on the other hand, I just can't afford to pony up another grand to upgrade the CS Suite again, either...
Besides: CS3 is everything I need, and it has worked wo well for so long--
even now, Premiere Pro is the only software in the suite with a problem!!
(I used Photoshop to create the above screencap)
So I'm hoping against hope that one of you techno-gurus may have come across this ITRW--
and actually SOLVED IT!!

Thanks for your prompt reply, John-- and for NOT simply advising me to spend my kid's tuition on more of your company's products...
Actually, I had tried the "Run as Administrator" option already, having found it in one of those other threads;
there was no change in the sequence described above.
I decided to try another possible solution which I read about in one of those other threads: opening Premiere from a different account.
Incredibly, it WORKED-- sort of...
I got a couple of popups advising me that missing codecs had to be installed-- and upon completion, Premiere opened!
Here's an interesting note: the last file to load was still "SolidComposite.AEX"-- and the "White Screen" I kept seeing was Premiere opening normally. The next thing that displayed was the normal dialog box "Open/New Project"-- I entered a new project name, and Premiere started normally. I even added a few video files as a test... all opened normally.
I returned to the Admin account to see if the fix was in here, too;
but clearly the war wasn't over, over here...
It now appears that some personal setting in the Admin account is causing Premiere to close itself;
I've been reading about the layered security measures embedded into Windows 8-- I'm suspecting the conflict lies there...
I ran the Windows Troubleshooter & got this:
both MS & Adobe confirm that CS3 is fully compatible--here's my sytem info:
Since I seem to have established a fall-back position that lets me use Premiere, my crisis becomes a mere conundrum;
but I know this is gonna gnaw at me anyway, & I'm hoping that this new information might suggest further troubleshooting options to someone who understands the Adobe software and/or the Windows software better than I do!
Speaking as someone who has found many solutions on forums like this over the years, I assure you:
for every person whose post you reply to, there are many more whom you will never know you have helped!!!

Upgrading from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit

Hello,
I'm running on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit now and I'm thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit ( I have the Windows 7 Ultimate CDs ). When I say upgrade, I'm aware that I actually need to clean install the 64 bit OS.
I want to know when I install Windows 64 bit by putting its DVD, will I need to activate Windows once again ? Like I did when I installed Windows for the first time on my PC.
But here's the problem actually, I bought this Windows 7 back in India when I was there and I installed the 32 bit OS there ( hence activated in India itself, after all, it's said that the activation much be done in India. )
But now, I'm in France, I moved here and I'm actually needing a 64 bit OS. So, installing the Windows 64 bit with this DVD, will it or not require activation ?
Because if it doesn't, it shouldn't be any problem and I could install it right ?
But if it does, I wouldn't be able to activate as I'm not in India anymore right ? If so, is there any other way or anything that could be done ?
I hope I was clear enough with the issue here, thanks for your help!

Hi,
I agreed with Rid Dee. As we consider to do a clean install of a 64bit Windows 7, we need to activate the OS after the installiation.
In addition, for license issue, we may make a contact to
Microsoft license support team, or we might consider ask in the forum below:

It looks like this unit has not yet been certified for Windows 8. Review this site to see what to expect when upgrading to Windows 8. Click on More Information at the bottom to get a more detailed list and to have the option to see if HP has tested the unit for Windows 8.
Make sure to install the Windows 8 HP Software Framwork found here.
There is a chance that some functions simply will not work. Since the unit has not been certified for Windows 8 and does not have Windows 8 drivers from HP, the Windows 7 drivers and software may need to be reinstalled using compatibility mode. Review my post located here for the method that seems to have the most success. The key to install HP software with compatibility mode is to let the extraction complete and then navigate to the real software installer in the extracted folder.
I recommend reinstalling the newest driver for each component in compatibility mode as outlined in the linked post. Here is the software page for your unit.
Let me know what happens.

Unable to activate software after upgrading to Windows 8

This post contains one question.
I am unable to activate my Creative Cloud products after upgrading to Windows 8. I have used the Chat service on three separate occasions, and after the employee asks me for my e-mail and order number, determines that they are unable to provide me the instructions necessary to license or activate the software. So I must be forwarded to a special team to help me resolve this problem. During the transfer, I get cut off -- each time.
On Windows 7, I deactivated my Creative Cloud membership through Photoshop.
I upgraded to Windows 8, installing all security updates and restarting the system several times.
Now that all updates are installed, I want to re-activate my Adobe products -- but am unable to find the commands to do so.
I have logged in to Adobe Application manager, using the e-mail address and password that Adobe has in the system for my account.
How do I activate my Adobe products?

Does the solution provided by customer 'kipedias' in this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4903206#4923341 resolve the issue?

Hi,
As usual, it is strongly recommended to backup all important data prior to upgrading any operating system. It is also strongly recommended to verify all currently used hardware and software with the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
Depending on if you are moving from Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista there are two different types of installations that can be performed when migrating to Microsoft Windows 7.
First, it is important to note that there is not an in-place upgrade from Microsoft Windows XP to Windows 7. Instead of an upgrade, there is a type of installation known as a “custom” installation. This option for installation is also available when moving from Windows Vista. A custom installation will attempt to back up your data files and bring them over to Windows 7 in what is known as a “windows.old” folder however this is considered to be a clean installation. Your applications that were installed prior to Windows 7 will require reinstallation. You may find the following resource Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 helpful.
If moving from Windows Vista, there is an option for an upgrade installation. The upgrade installation must be initiated from within Windows Vista. You may find the following resource Upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 helpful.

Upgrade to Windows 10 failure (80240020) - wait or manual install?

Hi Forum, On 07/11/15 I bought an ENVY 700-410 with Windows 8.1 Home installed. The transfer of programs and data from my 10 year old HP Pavilion went very smoothly.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=507417 I have done two things: 1/ I had a long chat with HP tech support. The bottom line from this chat was to sit tight and wait. 2/ I had a phone conversation with Microsoft. The advice was the same... just wait. I seem to have another option. Instead of just waiting, I can take manual action: 1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch, hopefully without flaws this time. Here is my questions? 1/ What should I do - sit tight or take action? 2/ What system is giving the errors in the log? Is it a program locally on my machine trying to ask Microsoft if it is ready now? Or is it Microsoft calling from the outside and really finding a problem on my system. 3/ I see that other people are having the same problem, but nobody that I could find explains the root cause of the error. Can you help? Thanks in advance, Bob

Hi Rixander,
Thank you for your reply. I do not think I have explained my questions well.
1/ I have run updates every morning. This morning there were 2.
2/ I did not run the update that caused the error "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home                               Failed      Important    8/5/2015".
3/ What system or process caused this this entry?
Until I clearly understand what is going on, I am going to do nothing. Window 8.1 is working well.
Cheers,

"This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. This host does not support Intel VT-x"

Hi, I have installed vmware 5.5 hypervisor on hp G8 microserver. I have created one vm as windows 2008 R2. I have also install vmware workstation 11 on this vm. In this workstation when I tried to run vmware 5.5 hypervisor I come across "This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. This host does not support Intel VT-x" this statement. Which shows that the host machine does not support virtualization and for that you need to go in Bios and enable it but in present case as host machine is also a vm and you would not find much detail of Bios when you log into the Bios therefore, I am pretty much stuck here. I don't see any information in relation to this. Now my question is:
1. Can we run ESXi inside a vm which is already sitting on ESXi?

I moved the discussion from VMware Workstation to Nested Virtualization which contains several hints on what's possible and what needs to be configured to make things work.

I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, does not save a scanned PDF file on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
To verify the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.

Premiere Pro CS3: Many Problems Fixed By Upgrading to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

I recently installed an SSD drive and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
Installing the Adobe Master Collection CS3 went smoothly and only took a few minutes instead of an hour, as in the past.
Premiere, for the first time in the years I've used it, runs STABLE. Not only that, but I can have AfterEffects open at the same time. And Maya 2008. And everything chugs along smoothly.
Case in point tonight: Multicam Editor: Under XP, it worked, but the quality of the video displays would be badly pixellated when video was playing. Under Windows 7, all the four viewports plus the 'online' viewport are sharp and clear and I can see if a camera is slightly out of focus, which was impossible to detect in the past until I watched the finished result.
The audio dropouts everyone complained about for years are a thing of the past.
And here's the biggie: I can render, render, render and keep rendering h.264 files and Premiere keeps ticking. Under XP, 2 to 3 files and that's it. Unknown Error would be the next render result. Under W7-64, I rendered all night and day without shutting or restarting Premiere, and I even had Maya and AE going and was working in them at the same time, something I could never do in XP because it would run out of RAM. And I can do this in 4GB ram! With 8GB, AE renders 3.5X faster, but most other programs remain about the same. I figure in the case of AE, it has EXCLUSIVE use of 4GB ram all to itself on an 8GB system. At any rate, die-hard CS3 users, don't be afraid to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.
The only thing you need to do differently is put the Postscript fonts in Adobe's fonts folder, as it won't see the Windows\Fonts-located PS fonts.
My 2008-vintage editing workstation breaths new life, like a major hardware upgrade was done. The "$139 system performance upgrade" I call it. (Sure, adding the Intel 320 SSD helps, but mainly with launching programs--once they're running, the main improvement comes from Windows 7 64-bit.)

Actually, Win8 is really not a tablet OS... it is "essentially" Win7 with a different front end http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1101032
Anything other than a new Win8 "app" runs on the same kind of desktop you see with Win7

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit upgrade to Windows 8 Pro RTM 64bit hangs

I am trying to upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on a Dell Alienware Aurora R3 desktop PC via DVD to Windows 8 Pro 64bit (RTM) and it freezes on the Windows Splash Screen after the installation and then after the restart. It looks like it has put the PC into
standby mode with the Windows logo frozen on one screen, however I cannot get PC out of 'sleep or hibernate mode' which is what it looks like it's done (flashing yellow Alienware logo).
When it happened the first time I had to manually shut it down and then restart it as the Win8 installation just stalled. After restart it said Windows 8 installation has failed and it successfully rolled back to my instance of Windows 7. I've
tried it again and it's done the same thing.
This is very frustrating as I did a clean install of Windows 8 Pro 64bit (RTM) on my Sony Vaio VGN-Z46GD laptop with no problems.
I have an Alienware Aurora R3 (only 8 months old):
Intel Core i7-2600K
8GB RAM
1.5GB Nvidia GeoForce GTX580

Just thought the Win 8 upgrade would be easy so long after launch but I am getting all of the above! I have done the following:-
Disable options: XD-Bit Capability, Intel SpeedStep Technology and Intel
C-state Tech.
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&docid=586909
Override the current Intel chipset, it appears to be the issue, and run this older one (Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility, v.9.2.0.1015, A00) for now:
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/alienware-aurora-r3?driverId=R284186&osCode=W764&fileId=2731115303

Still it won't reboot/come out of sleep - is there no answer from Dell/Microsoft to get this working?

Touchsmart 600-1120 successfully upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

I just wanted to report my Touchsmart 600-1120 (BK139AA) was successfully upgraded from Win7 64 bit to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, and I haven't run into any issues. Here are the steps I went though.
1. Made disk image backup using Win7 Backup and Restore.
2. Ran the Windows 8 advisor tool to have a record the computer passes minimum requirements and I had a list of what apps will no longer work. I did go ahead and removed all of them. I never did use those apps much anyways.
3. Ordered Windows 8 Pro upgrade DVD from Amazon. I potentially had multiple computers to upgrade, and wanted the DVD. Requested the free product key to unlock the Media Center add-on pack and received it in two days via email.
4. Made another disk image backup using Win7 Backup and Restore in the event a Win7 restore is needed.
5. Ready to upgrade. Inserted the 64 bit DVD, nothing happened. Manually launched Startup.exe on the DVD.
6. Selected option to upgrade Win7, keeping all docs and preferences and let it go. Took an hour or so, I didn't keep track. Rebooted a couple of times and responded to any prompts for info. When I received the logon screen for the first time, I ejected the upgrade DVD.
7. When I logged in for the first time, I had no issues with the touch driver. The touch was very reponsive. Played around for a while exploring a bit. It's actually lots of fun. I've never been exposed to an ipad or tablet, so this was the first time I've experienced a "tabletized" interface for lack of a better term.
8. Followed the instructions in the email to install and unlock the Media Center pack. It took a while to add the software. My only concern was if the AVerMedia TV card (A327) would work. After the install there was the normal Media Center icon shown on the app tiles. Launched it and had go through the process of setting up the TV tuner. Once it found the tuner card (yea!) I told it to use the existing preferences for channels and such and it worked like it did in Win7.
Launched Windows Update and it found a few things to update. I played around for a couple of hours to get familiar with the new interface, and how to display the old Win 7 desktop. It took me a while to figure out how to make an image backup. I had another computer handy with internet access and it was quicker to google to find answers to my questions. One of which is the option to use the familiar Win 7 backup and restore, so I made a new disk image with the new OS and stored it away.
I have this computer on the kitchen counter and use it mainly for TV watching while cooking and occasional recipe lookups. In the Windows store, there are some free recipe apps, like allrecipes.com. I installed a bunch of the free recipe and news apps. I don't know if I'd use the touch screen on a regular basis, although it is nice to have, it leaves lots of fingerprints, particuarily in a kitchen environment.
I'm very relieved I didn't run into hoops I had to jump thorough considering reading about Win8 upgrade issues others have experienced.

Hello, I was also able to go to Windows 8Pro, but have been unsuccessful trying to go to 8.1 or to 10, great PC feel I will need to restore it back to Windows 7. Have you been able to at least get it up to Windows 8.1? Thanks

Can install directly Windows 8.1 Pro without upgrading Windows 8 Pro upgrade on Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I have Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium OS which is pre-installed when I buy the Laptop.
I buy Windows 8 Pro upgrade before releasing Windows 8.1.
I formatted my Laptop and re-install Windows 7 64-bit and want to install directly Windows 8.1 without upgrading Windows 8 first then Windows 8.1.
Is this possible then please let me know where can I download Windows 8.1 and how I use Windows 8 Pro product key in Windows 8.1.ad
Thanks.
Best Regards
Syed Arshad

See http://m.winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-tip-download-windows-81-iso-windows-8-product-key but note that you will need a
placeholder key to install Windows 8.1. Follow the comments on the article to find one.

Host= Windows 8.0 Pro 64-bit Guest= Windows XP Pro 32-bit upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
