I think people have detested like me the Metro changes but then I just hit a key and I am back to desktop - it runs better and smoother and 8.1 has made booting to desktop option one of the first things you can set and it walks you through it.
OEM is fine, cannot transfer to another computer is all, and I would follow the "a newer version" link.
Windows 7 even with SP1 is 3 yrs old, and a lot of tweaking and improvements went under the hood.
See if you can google a review of games under 8/8.1 that you use.
Buy now might even want to see if there are or will be any free upgrades to 8.1 or not.

  • Windows 8 PHotkey for MSi CX480

    CX480 is not among the notebooks verified for a Win 8 upgrade (http://event.msi.com/2012/know_win8/upgrade.html). MSI does not provide any drivers or support for Win 8 and this model. Everything else is up to your trying. What does not work under Win 8 with this model won't work.

  • How to download a windows installation disc for pavilion dv7-6b78us

    After F11, try to restore system, my screen asking for Windows installation discs. I don't have. How could I download one. cant find it from HP support yet.

    Hi:
    You cannot download recovery disks. They must be purchased from HP.
    You can read the info at the link below on how to do that.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    You can however, download and make your own plain Windows 7 installation DVD if you can read the 25 character Windows 7 product key on the bottom of your PC.
    Here's how:
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • Unable to open Windows installer file sql_rs.msi

    Hi all,
    I'm installing SQL Server 2008 r2 Enterprise edition in Windows server 2008 R2 for TFS setup.
    Previously i have tried Express Edition of SQl server.
    Later it was all uninstalled.
    I'm facing an issue during the installation, Unable to open the file specified sql_rs.msi file.
    Kindly someone help me out on this.

    Hi,
    According to your error message, this issue might be caused by the corrupted setup file, please check if your setup file is corrupted or not. If it is corrupted, please try to download it again and choose “Run as administrator” to reinstall. If the setup file
    is complete, the installer may have problems accessing the files on the C:\SQLFULL_ENU_x64\setup folder, as Prashanth’s post, you could try to copy the setup file to a different directory where your account has full control permission to this folder, then
    choose “Run as administrator” to rerun the file and check if the error still occurs.
    Thanks

  • Windows 10 compatibility for my notebook

    My notebook came with Windows 8.1 Single Language. It is an OEM version, as I deduce from the product ID. But to my dismay, even though this notebook meets all the requirements, and is eligible for Windows 10 Upgrade offer (as only RT and Enterprise versions are not covered under the upgrade offer) the Windows upgrade icon did not appear on the taskbar. However, I downloaded the windows iso, and tried a clean install. But when I entered my product key (which I retrieved using a third party key finder), it said "windows cannot verify the product key". Can any one please enlighten what the issue is, and  whether there is any chance that HP would come to the assistance of consumers like me?  Thank you.

    @ReoMy windows is up to date with automatic installation of updates selected.Both the KBs are present. The windows upgrade assistant tool was saying this version is not supported. But OEM versions are supported, aren't they? When I tried through media collection tool, the Something Happened error occured.When I tried the clean install, my product key cannt be validated. How come? Isn't my notebook eligible for 10 upgrade? What is the problem? Regards Mihi85

  • Where can I find a Windows Installer disc for Bootcamp?

    Or where I can buy it?

    Any legal (one would hope) non-upgrade install Windows 7 disk.  OEM (single system install version) for fulll (2x th cost of EOM, but install on any many machines as you wish).
    32-bit copies recognize 3.5 GB RAM.
    64-bit Home recognizes 16 GB RAM.
    64-bit Pro recognizes 192 GB RAM.  Probably your best best for an iMac and for future use.

  • Windows 10 Upgrade for a notebook Nvidia Geforce 7150/NForce 630M

    I have a HP DV9700 notebook. It originally came with Vista and I was able to upgrade to Windows 7 ultimate with service pack 1. I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 and was given the following message:  unfortunately,this PC is unable to run  Windows 10. Compatibility issue, Nvidia Geforce 7150/nforce 630m the display manufacturer hasn't made your display compatability with Windows 10. I noticed that there were several posts in the desktop forum that gave links to update your display driver to Windows 8 and the work around to install Windows 10. Can anyone help with the laptop?

  • Windows Installer for Platform

    Hello,
    On Windows, does the WebLogicPlatform use
    the Windows Installer Service for installation?
    Are product and patches MSI based?
    If not, how are upgrades and patch updates handled?
    thanks!

    WL Platform installation is not based on msi.
    Upgrades and patches are delivered in several ways, e.g., separate executables, zip, or smart update over net.
