How to clean install from upgraded window 8.1 SL via window store

Hello friends, I am not that much expert in computer field. Please help me to solve my below mentioned problem.
I purchased and hp laptop with window 8 preinstalled 1.8 Years ago. and i have updated my laptop to window 8.1 via window store, and everything is working fine till now. Now i want to know is there any way to keep a copy of my window 8.1 (I have
already created recovery drive of window 8 of 21-22 GB, 8 months after purchasing my laptop). So that when i reset my laptop, again i dont have to download this large file of window 8.1 from window store. As i have searched on net regarding this and found
that when i  am going to reset my pc with my recovery pendrive, the default/preinstalled OS i.e window 8 is going to be installed on my system and not the window 8.1.   Anyone please tell me how to keep my window 8.1 copy, so that i can reinstall
the same in future winthout downloading the same. Thank you in advance for your help

Assuming you can get your PC to boot from a USB memory stick, create a Recovery Drive. 
You can make a System Image backup that can be accessed and restored from the recovery environment you can get to when you boot up.
Open the File History control panel look for the link to the lower-left...

  • How do a clean install from Time Machine Backup which is in other partition of internal hard drive

    I have 2 partitions in my internal hard drive they are
    1. Mac OS (Sysem Files)
    2. HDD (Other Personal Documents).
    I did Time Machine Backup in HDD partition. So now i want to do clean install from the Time Machine Backup without format the whole drive since my system not booting meant that system crashed and cant boot in anyway (Just consider ). Also I have MAC bootable USB stick.
    Thanks in advance .

    Having never seen a setup like that, I'm not sure how it will work.
    In theory, just erase the Mac OS volume, then install, choosing to recover from a Time Machine backup.
    When you boot into Recovery, open Disk Utility and select the Mac OS volume, not the whole disk. Erase it, then quit DU and restore from the Time Machine backup. However, this is the part I'm not certain of. I would imagine the partition with TM backup will be mounted, but I don't know.
    If you can't see the Time Machine backup from the Recovery HD on the drive, try it from the USB Recovery stick (it is a Recovery USB and not the old Lion install USB, correct?)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    If you don't have a "built-in" recovery HD because of your partitioning, then you would have to boot from that USB Recovery disk.
    Your setup is severely flawed. A backup on the same drive as the data is not a backup. You will lose everything with a disk failure.
    Also, partitioning off your OS on a Mac is not necessary and is probably counterproductive. OS X is not Windows.

  • How do I do a clean install from Lion download

    how do I do a clean install from Lion download ?
    My old tower will only stretch to Lion which I have had to download and installed it following the instructions.
    My local Applestore genius has told me to do a clean install but I don't have or can't find a copy of the Lion osX to use.
    Applegadge

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you are already using OS X Lion, use OS X Recovery to reinstall OS X and erase the disk. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Follow these steps:
    1. Make a backup of the data you don't want to lose after erasing the hard disk.
    2. Start your computer holding Command and R keys to start in OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    3. Choose "Macintosh HD" or the OS X partition in the sidebar, go to the Erase tab and erase the disk.
    4. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

    Sounds like you downloaded the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update or Combo Update. Neither will work on a version of OS X prior to OS X Mavericks. Those are only used to update an existing install of OS X Mavericks. The Combo will update any version from 10.9.0 thru 10.9.4. The Update will only update version 10.9.4.
    You need the full installer of OS X Mavericks from the App Store. However, the App Store no longer offers OS X Mavericks. Yosemite is the new FREE OS X.

  • Moving from XI R2 SP2 to XI 3.0 - clean install or upgrade?

    My company is currently using Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP2 and they want to move to XI R3.0. Is there any benefit to completely wiping the previous version and doing a clean install compared to trying to use the upgrade process?
    I'm still fairly new to this product so I don't know whether we do anything considered out of the norm. I presume we can back up our files/settings from R2, and them re-import them into R3.
    If anyone has any advice as to what is the better approach I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am going to be running the upgrade on a demo install next week. It is a single box installation, so the upgrade should work. If it does not I will be falling back and creating a clean install, and upgrading the db. Finally if this is not successful I will be trying to use the import wizard.
    I will update with the progress.
    Regards
    Alan

  • How do we install the upgrade on windows if if we have acrobat 8 to start with?

    Hi WE have Acrobat 8 pro and wish to upgrade to our new OS windows 7 by purchasing Acrobat X pro but obviously we can't install and run Acrobat 8 on windows 7 so how do we install the upgrade without first installing the earlier version?

    Our Acrobat 8 is an upgrade version for version 7 which we have also.  Its a business and we have been upgrading for years.  But changing the OS has caused a big problem for us as older software that has been upgraded over the years will not install.
    So will the version 8 Serial number still work?

  • Clean Install and upgrade of MBP 13"

    I've recently noticed that my MBP 13" 2010 has become really sluggish. It takes a lot longer to buffer commands and open apps. I use Logic Pro X alot and sometimes Final Cut, so for my main workstation to be sluggish with quite CPU intensive apps is really annoying!
    I was wondering if there was any way to upgrade the CPU. I doubt it, I know, but what's the harm in asking?
    Secondly, would a clean install with upgraded hardware be a good idea for updragding? I wanted to install an SSD and HDD with the SSD containg the OS and Logic and a few programs. I don't really have anything of value on my current HDD and don't want to go through the process of cloning, so a clean install was my first thought
    I've upgraded the RAM to 8gb, but you can't go to 16gb, can you?
    I've thought about getting a new Mac (both iMac and Macbook) but they too expensive. A hackintosh was the next thought but they seem unreliable.
    The SSD and HDD combo could work because I'm running out of space on my 320gb HDD and that might be a benefactor, so a faster SSD for a few programs and 1tb appeals well! Upgraded RAM and CPU (though unlikely to be possible) will be done if the Macbook can handle it/can be done!
    Thanks for any help or comments in advance!!!

    No.  Only by purchasing a MBP with a faster CPU can you obtain more speed.

    . I don't really have anything of value on my current HDD and don't want to go through the process of cloning, so a clean install was my first thought
    As far as the data is concerned, that is you decision.  An SSD will enhance performance.

    Yes,  OWC has demonstrared that 16 GB RAM will be accepted by a 13"  2010 MBP:
    http://blog.macsales.com/16302-some-2010-mac-owners-can-get-more-ram-than-they-t hought
    I would urge you to purchase the RAM from them.  It will work, if you purchase from another vendor it MAY work.

    That will not be discussed here,  Illegal.

    A 1 TB SSD will serve your needs well.

  • How to clean project from comman line ?

    How to clean project from comman line ?
    I would like to invoke the same functionality as in Flex
    Builder Project -> clean... -> clean all projects...
    but from command line is it possible ?

    You can:
    1) Perform a project clean up (p.153 of the user manual) - it removes any unused recordings, samples and other files
    2) Consolidate project (p. 154 of manual) - this copies all the used audio material into the project folder and also deletes any empty folders within project folder, making it easier to navigate
    3) Save project as a copy - this creates another project folder, but without all the backups and other additional files
