Installing Windows 8.1 Pro 32 bit on Lenovo H500s

I have installed a brand new (clean) 2T drive in the Lenovo H500s and I have Windows 8.1 PRO 32 bit retail disk. I'm trying to get this to install on the new drive but can't even get the unit to see the CD.
I've gone in to the BIOS and set the CDROM as the first boot divice but when the computer is turned on it doesn't seem to recognize the drive and gives me the error message "Error 1962 No operating system found".
I've tried other DVD's that are bootable but it doesn't seem to see those either. Any ideas on this?
NOTE: I need to use the 32 bit OS because I have drivers that the device manufacture won't update to 64 bit. This is a Epilog Laser Cutter so I'm not about to spend $17,000 to replace it.

Unable to install Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit on my HP Pavilion g6 1318ax

Hello,
I have Windows 8.1 pro OS on my machine but that's 32 bit. I am trying to install 64 bit of the same but it says "This app can't run on your PC". The machine I am using is Pavilion g6 1318ax.
Please advise.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Dev

Hi:
You have to boot from the 64 bit installation media and do a clean (custom) install.
It will not run from a 32 bit Windows desktop.
No 64 bit operating system will.
In other words, you can't upgrade from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system, and retain your programs and files.
So back up any files you don't want to lose.

I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

HP Omni 10 5600eg: Install Windows 8.1 Pro x86

Hi,
is it possible to install Windows 8.1 Professional (32 bit) on the Omni 10 without problems?
Are there any how-tos available?
Regards
Andreas

Hi @AndreasN , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are looking for an instructional to install Windows 8.1 Pro x 32 on your Omni tablet.
If you are saying that you want to install a retail copy of Windows on it, I do not have an instructional for you and I have never done it on an Omni tablet. I cannot guarantee you wouldn't have any problems, but I can give you a few things you will need. Here are the drivers you will need:
HP Omni 10 5600eg Tablet Drivers
If you have Windows 8.1 DVD's you would need a computer to make an installation USB drive to get it on your tablet:
Create installation media for Windows 8.1. There are many other instructionals out there as well, if you need more info.
If I am wrong, and you just mean to do a factory reset, these instructions cover that: Recovering Software on Your HP Tablet (Windows 8)
I hope this helps.

Can you install Windows 8.1 Pro using Parallels on a new MacBook Pro without retina display?

I am starting a graduate school program and I would like to purchase a MacBook Pro. The options for the non-retina display fit my needs best, but it sounds like the resolution requirements for Windows 8.1 Pro do not match the MacBook Pro without retina. I need Windows to run a statistics program (SAS) and ArcGIS for mapping. Any thoughts or experience installing Windows 8.1 Pro on MBP without retina?

The native res on my 13-inch non-Retina is 1280x800. You might check with Parallels support or their forums to see if this is a problem.
If you go with the non-Retina 13-inch, I'd recommend getting 8GB RAM (standard is 4GB) because Win emulators need a fair bit of memory.

How to install Windows 8.1 Pro on Macbook Pro

Hello everyone,
I'm new to these forums and new to bootcamping as well but have been reading all kinds of posts about how to install Windows 8.1 on their Macs using bootcamp. I am however having trouble with this situation as I have no clue what to do next. I have a Macbook Pro 2011, running on Maverics, and I recently downloaded a digital copy of Windows 8.1 Pro, 64-bit, for the Mac platform, along with its CD key through my University's hub website as can be seen here.
After finishing the downloading process, I received this file which is about 4GB large.
When i double click on the file this happens. It opens something on DEVICES which gives me what is on the 2nd image.
At this point, I'm at a loss on what to do next. Do i burn the file on a DVD hoping that Bootcamp will recognize it as a windows disc? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

You need a 'Full' Installer.

This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.
Can I perform an upgrade install from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?
It's not possible to upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows. Back up your important files, then perform a new install of the 64-bit version of Windows.

Corrupt SPLDR.SYS Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit won't boot

Hi!
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit full Norwegian version bought at a local store. My PC consists of:
MB: Asrock Z97 Extreme4
Proc.: Intel i7 4790
RAM: 4 x 8 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1866Mhz 10CL
Video: Gainward GeForce GTX 770 4GB
SSD: Kingston HyperX SH100S3 240GB (system disk)
RAID5: 3 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB + 1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB(configured using Intel RAID BIOS utility - only used for user files)
Optical: Lite-On IHOS104-37 + LG BD-R BH10
eSATA: Samsung Story Station Plus 1.5 TB (This had to be set as internal SATA drive in UEFI otherwise it refuses to wake up form sleep)
1394a: Lycom PCI-E PE-101
PS: Corsair HX750W
The optical drives are connected to the onboard ASMedia ASM1061 controller, the others to connectors controlled by the Intel Z97 chipset. I also have an M-AUDIO Firewire Solo external sound card connected to the 1394a expansion card. This is powered
by the Firewire bus and is occasionally a little "tricky". I believe it's because there is no driver available for Win 8 so I had to use the one for Win 7 64-bit.
This rig was set up about a month ago and has worked without any
serious problems except that I sometimes experience that the eSATA drive doesn't always wake from sleep.
All suggested updates has been installed.
My issue is this:
2 days ago I was installing a Silverlight
plug-in for Mozilla when I got a message that the installation routine couldn't update the registry and then the system
froze. After rebooting,
I was informed that Windows had become
corrupt. Attempting to run the
repair routine was no use - I just got
a message that Windows couldn't undertake
the repair. I suspected problems
with the system disk and started the
command prompt using the installation DVD.
It turned out that the C drive suddenly
had becomeE drive. The RAID "disk" showed up under the command prompt as C:\.
I ran bootrec (Sorry, I can't remember what parameter I used)
that reported that some errors were
repaired but that it couldn't repair everything.
Then I ran sfc offline.
In the srttrail.txt log file (that was written to the correct path on the E drive) I see that
SPLDR.SYS is corrupt and attempt
to repair failed (error code 0x2
and 0x490).
I was advised by a support engineer on the Microsoft Community forum to try and run chkdsk /p - which turned out to be an invalid parameter - and chkdsk /r which reported that everything was OK.
The support engineer suggested that I should perform a system restore from WindowsRE. This is what happened:
At first there seemed to be only one restore point available dated two days earlier but when I looked for more restore points there were 4 alltogether the oldest one dated 14 days earlier. I klicked the button "Look for the
affected programs" (or something like that - I've translated this from the Norwegian version I use.) and there were listed a lot of programs and utilities that had been installed on this disk before but not as long as it had been in
this rig! (I used this SSD as system disk in another PC earlier.) This is strange: when I installed the disk in my new rig I chose to repartition it and as far as I know that means that old data is erased. OK, I chose the newest restore point anyway
and klicked Next. In the following dialog there was a yellow exclamation mark and a list of two drives. Both drives were called Local drive (C:), the first one with (System) as well. Under Status on this first one it said "You
must enable system protection on this drive." Status of the second one was "Cannot find the drive" (Again translated from the Norwegian version.) The checkbox to the left
of both of the listings were greyed out and because I couldn't choose any of them, the Next-button was grayed out as well.
As I mentioned before the drives have chanched letters. When I use old DOS commands from the command prompt and switch from the X: drive (which seems to be the Windows installation DVD) to C: it shows the RAID I mentioned before. Likewise, the
system disk (i.e. the SSD I'm having trouble with) is now D:. And that sort of explains why the system recovery can't find the drive... But it doesn't explain why the old programs show up in the new restore points... (I've checked that the SSD
still is set to be boot disk in UEFI.)
The support engineer suggested that I post my query on the TechNet forum.
Do you have any suggestions what to do?
I'm a little nervous considering what could happen
with the files on the data disk if I make a mistake... :-)
Regards,
Morten Ericson

Hi!
Please read both this reply and the next one in conjunction.
I've done some research on my own after following your advices (Please look at my last reply below.).
First of all: bootrec /scanos does not report any Windows installations.
Running bcdedit /enum reports:
Windows Boot Manager
identifier: {bootmgr}
device: partition=D:
path: \bootmgr
description: Windows Boot Manager
locale: nb-NO
default: {default}
displayorder: {default}
timeout: 30
Windows Boot Loader
identifier: {default}
device: partition=D:
path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description: Windows 7 Ultimate
locale: nb-NO
recoverysequence: {db9ccd8a-43de-11e4-85a8-8169ad6c7c9f}
recoveryenabled: Yes
osdevice: partition=D:
systemroot: \Windows
bootmenupolicy: Standard
I must admit that I don't know how these things go together but there are a few things that makes me wonder:
First of all this has to be the reason why Windows 7 Ultimate comes up as the only option when I try to run System Restore. But is it really a Windows 7 installation? A lot of the files (logs and so on) in the Windows folder and subfolders are dated
mid August when I installed Windows 8.1. I just wonder...
I've been googling a bit about system installation and recovery and I read somewhere that there are some special precautions when installing Windows on a UEFI-based system. I can not remember that there were any options or warnings about that when
I installed Windows 8.1 on my system. But I belive I saw somewhere that a UEFI-based installation creates other partitions than an installation on an ordinary BIOS based system. The fact that the SSD has been used in a BIOS based system with Windows
7 Ultimate before explains in my mind why there is no reserved partition.
BTW: I don't know if this is important but the strings that were reported by the bootsect command were {e59cd65f-170a-42c4-927d-8ce8a94989a3} for the C:-disk and {cf240c96-43dc-11e4-85a8-806e6f6e6963} for the D:-disk.

Morten

Operating System change from Windows 7 to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

I have HP Pavilion Dv6-6196ex with Windows 7 64 bit as original OS. I change my hard drive to 256 mb SSD and installed new OS windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. Is there any suitable software coming from HP that is compatible to my new OS and can i get a recovery manager from HP and installed it on my new OS?

Sorry, but HP is only supporting and providing drivers for Windows 7 for this model on the HP Pavilion dv6-6196ex Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The only purpose of the HP Recovery Manager is to return the computer to its original factory state. Becasue your computer shipped with Windows 7, the HP Recovery Manager would only restore Windows 7 and not the currently installed OS.
Please see HP Forun thread entitled "8.1 recovery discs" for more information on this subject. My suggestion is to use Windows "System Image Backup" utility to create an exact image of the Windows 8.1 partition as it currently is, on an external hard drive. If your computer developes issues or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is "restore" the image to the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: Use System Image Backup for instructions on creating and restoring a "Windows - System Image Backup."
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

TCS4 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit on my workstation. Then I did a clean install of Adobe TCS4. When I want to enter my Serial Number I receive the following message:
Serial Number you povided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.
To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number.
When I select Adobe FrameMaker 11 from the dropdown and enter the TCS4 Serial Number I receive the following message:
This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another.
Any suggestions?

What did Adobe support say? Installation help/support is free.

right now i am using windows 8.1 pro 32 bit ,, want to change to 64 bit , my CPU is 64 bit and i have 4 GB ram (i know i should have more ram ,, but i dont do this upgrade for the ram , but because some emulators , and some application
ask 64 bit) so i used every possible way on my computer , using windows 7 download tool , rufus , etc programs to make the usb , imgburn for dvd , i did from a friends computer that is windows 8.1 pro 64 bit ,, but nothing everything DOESN'T work ,
all 32 bit editions boot and install just perfect (created by my computer ) so its not a computer problem ,, when i put the media on my computer (dvd/usb) and restart and boot on it ,, its shows me the windows logo ,, after 20 seconds (too much)
it shows the ring , and then it reboots the computer (2/10 tries it manages to go in the language selection screen ,, but when i click next ,, and then i click install now button ,, it reboots again) what is going wrong , and how can i fix it (where
should i make that bootable media ?) i have bought the windows from dreamspark ,, so i use a official iso and serial key

Hi,
This is not license problem, in my opinion, it's more relate with hardware and their driver problem.
Firstly, it would be better to contact the manufacture to identify if your computer support Windows 8.1 X64 edition.
Secondly, if your former system was not removed, try to access into the system and upgrade BIOS editon, after that, try to reinstall the system again for test.

Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591

Hi forum, I recently bought the Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591 and I noticed that it only comes with the Core Edition of Windows 8.1. As I need some of the features of the Windows 8.1 Pro Edition (joining domains, remote display etc.) I would like to upgrade the System to Windows 8.1 Pro. I still have an unused Pro retail key (no OEM, no Upgrade Pack) here so at the moment I'm downloading the ISO for Windows 8.1 Pro. But prior to installation I would like to make sure that everything works out fine and I don't run intro problems. First of all: is there anything I need to save from the old OS (except from the recovery partition- I already saved that to a USB drive using the recovery program provided by Acer)? Do I have to know my Product Key (using for example a key viewer software) just in case? Do I have to disable secure boot in BIOS? Second: can I just install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website? Drivers should still work, right? Third: if I ever want to switch back to Windows 8.1 Core (the OEM edition) do I just use the USB pen drive created with the acer recovery tool? Will my retail Windows 8.1 Pro Key be usable again if I switch back to the original OS? Sorry for asking that many questions but I just have to make sure that it runs trough right in the first place because I need the Laptop to function. What would be your standard procedure to this kind of "problem"? Thanks in advance and with regards,The_DJ Edit:I might have forgotten to mention that I want to do a clean reinstall without all the bloatware from Acer. That's why I'm using the Windows 8.1 Pro "Vanilla" ISO and if I ever want to switch back to core use the Windows 8.1 Core "Vanilla" ISO. Is that possible or would I have to use the recovery partition saved to my USB drive?

Changing the Operating System may cause driver conflicts. The compatible drivers for Windows 8.1 will not be available in the website for this laptop. Hence, some of the features on the laptop might not work after changing the OS. 1: Since you have already created the USB recovery media from the laptop, you do not have to copy anything else other than this. Make sure you you backup all files before installing the OS, as it will remove all data from the laptop. I see that, you have the unused Pro retail key for the OS, hence, you do not have to have the OEM product key. You need to use the product key for Windows 8.1 Pro to activate it, not the Acer OEM product key. In the BIOS, select BOOT tab. Select BOOT MODE as Legacy Mode instead of UEFI.Disable Secure Boot. Under Boot Priority Order, you need to select 1 as CD/DVD (if you are using disc), or USB FDD or USB HDD (if you are using USB drive) to install Windows 8.1 Pro. Then press the F10 key and select "Yes" to save the changes in BIOS. ->You an install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website. As said before, there may driver conflicts. -> If you want to switch back to Windows 8.1, you may use the USB reovery drive (which created you have created from the recovery partition). When you do this, the Windows 8.1 Pro and it's product key will be removed from the laptop and the factory shipped OS, drivers, apps (and the OEM product key) will be installed automatically. You do not have to use the Windows 8.1 Pro key with Acer OEM USB reovery media. -> You need to do a clean install using the USB recovery drive to install factory shipped Windows on the laptop.
