Upgrade Windows 8 Pro (VL) to Windows 8.1 Pro or Ent (VL)

Hello,
I have Windows 8.0 Pro from VL, and I would like to upgrade to Windows 8.1 either Pro or Ent from VL.  I downloaded both versions from VLC, but every time I start the installation, it just does nothing.  It says - Preparing - all the way to 98%
complete, then goes away.  Then I try to upgrade by using the CD, and it says you must run setup.exe from within Windows, so please restart.  Like going in circles.
If I run setup.exe from the sources folder, then at least setup launches, but then I get "Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms.  Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation".  Hmmmmm.
Does anyone know why the setup.exe does nothing (there is nothing in the background running) when starting from within Windows 8? 
Thank you!

I use enterprise version of Windows and updates work fine with an A0 VM in Azure. Even on a bare metal box Windows update should work fine unless somebody has disabled it.
Check in the control panel and see if Windows update is set for automatic

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Windows 8.1 upgrade, Printer Assistant no longer available

    Hi, have recently upgraded my operating system from windows 8 to windows 8.1.
    Once this upgrade completed, my printer assistant could no longer find the printer.
    I un-installed the program, and re-installed the full driver version off the HP website, but after install, i still do not have a printer assistant. I can print, but have no other functions.
    If i go into My Computer Printers and Devices, double click on the printer, i am still only given 3 options: 'See whats Printing', 'Customise your printer' and 'Set preferences'. There is no option for 'Printer Assistant'.
    I have tried the un-install, install option a couple of times now...and no difference.
    Am i ever going to be able to communicate with my printer and scan etc, etc, ever again?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Crypto failure when upgrading Windows 8.1 Pro install to Windows 10 Tech Preview 10041

    Has anybody experienced the following error when trying to upgrade a Windows 8.1 Pro install to Windows 10 Tech Preview 10041
    crypto_self_test_failed
    The system reboots twice both times with the same error and then reverts back to Windows 8.1 Pro.  This occurs during the upgrade process.  Windows 10 never installs.
    Thoughts?  Suggestions?
        Thanks
          Eric Sten

    Hi Eric,
    It seems to be the upgrade self-test fails.
    For testing Windows 10, you may consider take use of Hyper-V and install a VM of Windows 10:

    Or try a dual boot:

  • Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?

    Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?  My former PC ran on Windows XP and this new PC runs on Windows 7.  I don't want to shell out another $449 when Acrobat Pro 9 worked fine for me.

    You might be able to install Acrobat 6 for this purpose, but you probably won't have to. When you install Acrobat 9 Upgrade it should (if I remember right) ask for the serial number of your "qualifying" product and at that point you put in the Acrobat 6 serial.

  • Upgrade to Acrobat Pro XI on Window 8.1 downloads, installs and configures. Then pressing the launch button in the dialog box doesn't launch program.

    Upgrade to Acrobat Pro XI on Window 8.1 downloads, installs and configures. Then pressing the launch button in the dialog box doesn't launch program.

    Using the start button, Acrobat Pro should appear. But it might not, being Windows 8. Maybe it puts an icon on your desktop, maybe not.
    How about checking c:\program files (X86)\adobe\acrobat 11.0\acrobat. If you have this folder, look for Acrobat.exe.

  • Upgraded to windows 7 64 strange behavour CS4 Premiere Pro

    Hi,
    I upgraded to windows 7 64 and are using Premiere pro CS4 for the first time on this system.
    I noticed when I click the minus sign (at the top right) to temporarily close the program the little icon shows up at the bottom of the screen like it does with any program on  Windows 7.
    But unfortunately when I try to let it appear on screen again nothing happens. I have to reboot the system to get it working again.
    Also the timeline starts flickering when I play a sequence is this normal?!
    Any one with a solution is very very welcome to reply!

  • I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity?

    I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity? I purchased a faster drive initially, but has 200 GB capacity. I am running out of room and would like to upgrade for more space if possible.
    Can anyone suggest an alternative?

    You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
    If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
    You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
    I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

  • I upgraded laptop to Windows 8.1, but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears.  I must restart PC.

    Hi there,
    This is exactly what it says in the title.
    I got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 (from W7), but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears.  I must restart PC in order to get the taskbar back.
    Has anyone come across this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi Paul ,
    I would like to know does this happen in case of Acrobat only or while accessing any other applications as well ?
    Are you able to see the taskbar before you access any application?Or it just disappears when you launch Acrobat?
    You can try repairing Acrobat once and see if that fixes the issue.
    If that does not work ,you can try uninstalling Acrobat once and install it again.
    Please refer to the following as well and see if that helps.
    Regards

  • 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)

  • After installing Radeon Graphics drivers on Windows 8 Flash player and Adobe Flash Pro didn't re-ins

    Hi,
    On a Windows 8 Pro desktop I recently installed Flash Pro and it seemed to work great.   Also Flash Player was working great as well.  But I noticed on Adobe  Photoshop CS6 that the 3d controls were not working.  So I installed the the Radeon Graphics AMD Catylyst Control series for an onder 4800 series graphics card.   Has anyone else had problems with 4800 series AMD ATI video cards?  Any suggestions after reviewing the tables below?
    I then noticed that the 3d controls in Adobe Photoshop worked great. But...
    Later, however, I noticed that Flash Play would green screen on some videos in IE10.  So I tried to follow the Flash Player repair procedure such as remove checkbox on Active X Filter,  Adding Compatibility mode without success in IE so I installed Mozilla Fire Fox and re-installed flash player etc... which worke don Mozilla but not IE10.  So I'm thinking this new software from AMD caused several problems to occur and not sure how to fix them. I still want 3d controls on my video card and now I'm thinking about starting a fresh install before installing Adobe software with a new NVidia card or a trusted AMD ATI card because this legacy 4800 doesn't seem to be cutting. 
    Here is my system settings and after this table are the errors I got upon reinstalling Flash pro.    Note: These were not critical errors so I was still able to run Flash Pro.  I was never able to run Flash Player on IE10 after upgrading my video card software (Catalyst Control Center).   However Flash Player does seem to work great on Mozilla Firefox after re-installing Adobe Flash.   When I try to install Flash Player in IE10 I get a title screen of "Update Flash" with no content whatsover.

  • I'm trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 Enterprise on a 2011 MacBook Pro, but most of the drivers aren't installing correctly.

    Apparently, the only boot camp functions that work are restarting in Mac OSX and double-touch right-clicking, which I got after downloading the BootCamp 3.2 upgrade.
    This means no sound, no Direct3d (though I've installed the Intel drivers manually and that's now working), no keyboard functions, and no internet access by ethernet port or wifi, which means I won't be able to activate Windows and this install will soon die a quiet death.

    The Bootcamp Assistant version should 5.1.x. Please see Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions about installing Windows 8 - Apple Support and Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support.

  • Upgrade T61 6457-CTO to Windows 7 (64 bit)?

    HI,
    I have a T61  6457-CTO running windows XP pro.  After 2 years of multiple versions of office & Adobe Creative Suite as well as other software, it is now very sluggish.  Since I am getting new office & Adobe software I thought I might I upgrade to Windows 7 (64 bit).  I only have 2 GB of RAM, but I can upgrade that to 4 Gb.
    I have a few questions:
     - Can I run the 64 bit version?  I ran the Windows upgrade advisor & the hardware was fine - it was the lenovo software that would have potential problems.  I assume that lenovo support has all the drivers that I would need?
    -  What is involved in installing the new OS?
    - How does the computer know to switch from the 32 bit to 64 bit?
    - will I lose the lenovo partition & all the lenovo software?  Do I care?
    - Has anyone had problems with this switch?
    Is windows 7 much faster on this machine? especially with the web & graphic software I am using?
    My other option is to restore my computer to factory settings & load the new software.
    Any suggestions?   I appreciate any advice or comments on how this upgrade might have gone for you.

    Hello,
    There is no automatic migration path from Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows 7, nor is there a migration path between 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows, although it may be possible to do this with third party tools.  This means a clean installation, followed by reloading the applications and data.
    I run 64-bit versions of Windows 7 on a ThinkPad T61 (Type: 7664-1LU) and a T61p (Type: 6459-CTO), so given my experiences, along with your own report from the Windows Upgrade Advisor it sounds like you have a 64-bit system.  You can also verify this by running a program such as Intel's Processor Identification Utility, which will tell you if your CPU supports EMT64, which is Intel's name for a 64-bit architecture.
    Once you have finished installing Windows 7, you can install Lenovo's ThinkVantage System Update software, which will download and install all remaining ThinkVantage drivers and software for your T61. 
    I've always done clean installs of Windows 7 to a new hard disk drive on my ThinkPads, so I am unsure of what happens to the Lenovo service and recovery partition.  More information about upgrading to Windows 7 on ThinkPads can be found here on Lenovo's support web site, so maybe the answer can be found there.

  • Clean Windows 8.1 Pro install over Windows 8.1 SL

    Hi,
    I have a Lenovo H520g desktop, which came with Windows 8 Single Language installed. The machine is currently updated to Windows 8.1 Single Language.
    As I am a software developer, I need to use Windows 8.1 Pro, because the SL version doesn't have Hyper-V, which is necessary to run the Windows Phone SDK emulator.
    For the reason explained above, I would like hear the advice of an official Microsoft representative on the matter discussed on this topic.
    I do know I can update from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Pro by using the "Add features to Windows 8.1" item on the Windows 8.1 Control Panel and buying the Windows 8,.1 Pro Pack. Nevertheless, I prefer buying the full retail version of Windows 8.1
    Pro on a DVD from a local Microsoft reseller. I need a quick way to restore my machine in the case of a HDD failure and having the full retail DVD is definitely the best way to do that. If I upgrade by buying the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack, should my HDD ever failure,
    I'll have to do the Lenovo restore procedure (which would restore the computer to Windows 8 SL), then upgrade to Windows 8.1 and only after that I could apply the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack. 
    My question is: will I be able to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my computer? Of course I'm aware I'll have to delete the partition Windows 8.1 is currently installed on. No problem with that.
    But what about the license key? I've read that computers that come with Windows 8 pre-installed have the Windows license key embedded on the BIOS. Will I be able to start the standard Windows 8.1 Pro installation from the DVD and use the license key that comes
    with the DVD?
    It's very important for me being absolutely sure I'll be able to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my Lenovo desktop. The Windows 8.1 Pro full retail DVD is rather expensive here in Brazil (about US$ 320).
    Cheers,

    Hi PauloBR1,
    If you upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro by Windows 8.1 Pro Pack,you can use
    System Image Backup feature to backup your system.Also,you can use this feature to restore your system quickly.
    In addition,britishdhez is right.
    We can use the Retail license key to active the Windows 8.1 Pro.

  • Windows 7 Install fails on early Mac Pro

    Just wondered if anyone else has experienced a blue screen failure during installation of Windows 7 RC 32-bit on an early Mac Pro (pre-2008). I get almost to the very end of the install during the copy files/settings phase (last one), and after a reboot, Win7 seems to start, but eventually crashes with a blue screen.
    This is on a separate hard drive formatted to all NTFS. I've tried an install from the DVD from scratch (freshly formatted drive), and then again as an upgrade from a Vista installation (this all took many hours - and I do this for fun?). All with 32 bit since I don't have access to 64 bit drivers. But the result was uniform in both cases. The same version installed perfectly with vmWare Fusion.
    So I suspect some issue with my Mac Pro Quad, which is an early, first generation version. I know others have had success with Win7 on a Mac Pro, but maybe on 2008 and later versions?
    I have yet to try Win7 64-bit. Hopefully will get cured by final release, but would just like to know if anyone else with early Mac Pros have had success.

    I don't think you really need to worry about 64-bit drivers - I don't have any Apple software or Boot Camp.
    You don't mention RAM, disk drives, or graphics card, or any other hardware and whether you tried w/o.
    I would warn that our early Mac Pro will have to work around the EFI boot menu that Windows 7 RC x64 presents.
    I've had my 7300GT culprit; a disk drive that had to be reformatted in Vista; pull the 4 x 512MB of RAM (Apple) that was beginning to trigger a red light. So there are various items. And they all took hours to diagnose, swapping hardware; lots of head scratching.
    There is no cure except to get around hurdles. We are stuck in EFI 32-bit land. May have to / want to buy 10.6 to get newer drivers, but that won't add 64-bit support. You can if you must, get 64-bit Boot Camp. I feel it is optional.
    If you can install Vista, then install Windows to another drive, leaving Vista alone. Burn the ISO to DVD and copy the DVD back to a 8GB NTFS partition and run Windows Install Setup off that is fast and neat.
    Setup a drive with room for Vista, Windows 7 RC, 8GB ISO partition, and data partition. Or expand to multiple drives.
    Burn the DVD slower. There are other tips and ideas.

    I've found Kaspersky 2010 beta and license from 2009 Internet Suite to probably be the best I've tested so far in that area.
    Fusion use to use Windows Server 2008, maybe it got updated to include a better profile, or it was only x64 that had any problems. Sun VirtualBox is another. With that, you can modify the DVD to allow booting easier if needed.
    I have Vista SP1, then put in Vista SP2-RC (same drive) and for Windows 7 I have one install that is for testing anything new first, and another that I use daily regularly - and prefer to use 7.7100 RC now instead of Vista.
    Installing Windows while booted in Windows is neat, can be fast, but first find the hardware issue. Most BSOD is drivers and need to safe boot and uninstall drivers, but you may not have gotten even that far. And don't until you have a restore point, and be ready to reboot from Vista or 7 DVD to repair Windows.

  • Does anybody know if Acrobat 9 Pro work in WIndows 8 64 bits?

    Does anybody know if Acrobat 9 Pro work in WIndows 8 64 bits?

    Hi parpires
    You are welcome to try but it was not tested.  Also from my understanding printer drivers have changed again in Windows 8 so it is unlikely you will be able to get the Adobe PDF printer to function.  Acrobat 10 and Acrobat 11 do function properly with Windows 8.  If you end up running into installation difficulties then you will likely want to consider upgrading to Acrobat 11.

  • Will Acrobat 9 Pro run using Windows 7?

    Will Acrobat 9 Pro run using Windows 7?

    This machine is Win7, 32-bit, and AA 9 has run on it from day one. Folks have even reported AA 8 running on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Win7, though there were some issues with the 64-bit version. Win7 is not one of the certified versions for AA 9, but I suspect you would have no problems. Win8.1 might be a different story. It sounds like you are considering upgrading your machine. I can not say without question you will have no problems, but my guess is that it will work fine. It would be a good idea to consider upgrading if you have a chance and the cash.
