Question

Upgraded my touch smart 520-1070 to Windows 8 and now no program under hp touch smart works (HP MUsic, HP Touch Smart Magic Canvas, etc)? Everything worked fine under Windows 7. No other problems with the Window 8 installation. It was very smooth.
Any Fixes or patches available?

Please see "HP - Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8" for more information on limitations and requirements of upgrading a HP Windows 7 computer to Windows 8.
Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all Windows 7 computers. Your computer may require additional hardware, software, firmware, and/or a BIOS upgrade to install and run Windows 8.
Secure boot is not available on any HP Consumer Desktop or All-in-One computers.
If you purchased your computer prior to October 1st , 2011, HP has not tested or developed drivers for your model computer. Therefore an upgrade of your computer may be difficult or impossible.
HP recommends installing the 64-bit version of Windows 8 for desktop computers.
Not all Windows 8 features will be available on all computers, and your particular experience with Windows 8 is determined by the capabilities of your computer.
Software designed for Windows 7 or earlier operating systems may not work after installing Windows 8.
HP provides Windows 8 compatible software and updated drivers to support only specific computer models.
You might not be able to view DVD movies after upgrading. If you currently use a DVD codec to play DVD movies, such as the encoder that comes with Windows 7 Professional, this encoder may not be available after upgrading to Windows 8. To continue to play DVDs after you upgrade, go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs to download Windows Media Center or purchase DVD playback software.
If you currently use DVD playback software from HP, the Windows 8 installation process helps you determine if your playback software is compatible with Windows 8 or if an update is required. If the software is compatible and you perform an In-place Upgrade, you have the option to keep this software during the upgrade. If you perform a Clean Install you must reinstall the software after the upgrade.
Windows 7 PCs with touch will not have full Windows 8 touch capabilities after upgrade. HP PCs with touch input hardware designed for Windows 7 will provide a comparable experience for only two touch point applications after the upgrade to Windows 8. HP Windows PCs with touch input hardware will not support Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points.
WARNING:HP Linkup, HP Application Assistant, HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and all other HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrading. Content created using the TouchSmart applications such as Graffiti will not be available after upgrading.
