• How to install Linux in Windows 8?

  I bought a new laptop and I was happy, until I turned it on. It was not an option to access the BIOS, when I started first, I noticed. Then I followed the installation of Windows 8, everything was going well (except for the part that I want to talk). I put in my x 64 Arch Linux cd, restarted Windows 8... There is still no option to access the BIOS. NO BIOS. I paid $ 700 for this laptop, but it doesn't have a BIOS. I think I've paid enough to receive a BIOS. Well, back to the story. The arch Linux installation menu doesn't start, but a windows 8. I tried the CD on my other laptop and it worked. I searched Google for hours and I found answer he. UEFI. It's sad. I found the answer: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/20303.html but I'm afraid that this method may not work and break the whole system. If it breaks the stupid windows will break and if windows case I have no computer. THANK YOU MICROSOFT.

  Anyway, anyone know how to install Linux in Windows 8? I intend to remove Windows 8 once I do it because Windows 8 is inflated and it will be a waste of space and partitions.

  Well I have not played with Arch Linux so I can't help, I mentioned only what I did with Ubuntu.
  But I was wondering why there is no BIOS - I have a DELL Studio with Windows 8 Professional and I can easily boot into BIOS.

• Cannot install itunes for windows - error: Apple Application Support is required to run Itunes Helper. Uninstall and reinstall (as I did twice)

  Cannot install itunes for windows - error: Apple Application Support is required to run Itunes Helper. Uninstall and reinstall (as I did twice)

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• How can I install windows7 alongside windows 8 on a pc of UEFI firmware

  I've been a fan of windows8, but now I just can tolerate more. I find myself posting several times on the forum because I bought a pc brand new windows8 in June 2013. Windows8 is a cool OS but I can't take more with the problems, he gave me. I find myself punching my pc because of the anger and closing the lid really hard because I hate windows8 performance.

  First question:

  My wireless lan driver is horrible. I can't download large files on my pc because my computer disconnects every 10 minutes after I connect to a wireless network.

  Second question:

  My mouse sucks. I was a big presentation in my school and the next thing I knew was that my mouse had disappeared from the screen. It's really annoying because I had to reinstall the drivers, then restart the computer on a projection screen. This happens often and it is one of the reasons why I want windows7 on a partition.

  Third question:

  Most of my keys on the keyboard still stop sometimes. Most of the letters or homework, I type on my laptop must be checked several times before submitting it.

  I tried to install windows7 on my pc on a different partition, but it simply doesn't. I know that its to cause of UEFI firmware and I have put it in legacy mode, but my windows8 will not start when I do this. I have seen and read a lot of posts, but it doesn't seem to work. At one time I tried to install mac that wasn't a good idea.

  How can I install Windows7 alongside windows8

  PS: I love windows8, but I can't use this operating system more at school because it bothers me a lot.

  If you keep the computer abuse, you have nothing to use or reinstall Windows 7 on. Treat the system with the best care.

  Are you sure that most of your problems with Windows 8 is not related to:

  1 driver with your network card problem?

  2 have you tried to connect to the Internet with a wired connection to see if the problem persists?

  3. have you checked for Mouse/touchpad update the drivers from the manufacturers Web site?

  4. it looks like the issue with the keyboard and all the problems, may be chipset related, you can also consult the manufacturer of your laptop site for driver chipset update.

  5. considering that your system was manufactured in June of 2013, it probably came with Windows 7, Windows 8 No, you would of course, was given a free upgrade to Windows 8 depending on the date of purchase.

  I even did a SFC scan, but it says:

  Hello

  Thank you for the update on the issue.

  Yes, you are right that if SFC scan find damaged files but could not repair so that there could be a chance that some system files are corrupt. So, I suggest you run the DISM commands and then see if it helps you to fix the corruption.

  Maintenance of the images of deployment and management (DISM) installs, uninstalls, configures, and updates features and CBS packages in Standard Windows 8 Embedded images (standard 8) offline and offline Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 4.0 images. The commands and options that are available for servicing an image depending on whether the image is offline or online. All controls operate on a standard 8 offline image. Subsets of commands are available for the maintenance of an operating system.

  I suggest you run the commands in elevated command prompt and control below if this can help.

  • Press Windows key and X at the same time.
  • Choose line (Admin) command on the shortcut menu.
  • In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth.

  This command is used to check if an image is repairable. Scan the image to check corruption. This operation may take several minutes.

  DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

  This command is used to repair an image.

  Keep us updated on the issue after running DISM commands.
