Did I lose my games/installed office applications if I update Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows?
-Very well, so I have a laptop that came pre-installed with Windows 8, and I've heard of a'lot of good things about Windows 8.1 but I do not have a hard drive that can store most of my games that I downloaded (my country has no good wifi speeds) so lemme get straight to the point:
If I update Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows, will be my office (not windows store apps downloaded) games/apps/files/etc removed? Like games such as:
World of tanks, 4 Battlefield, Team Fortress 2, etc are deleted after update?
(also, sorry if it is posted in the wrong topic section)

Upgrading the operating system does not mean that none of your
applications will be removed.
But there is never a guarantee; No matter what you do, there is
always the possibility that something may go wrong and you will lose
something or whatever it is you want to keep.

Where should I install Office remotely 6.1 for Windows Vista?
I need to install Remote Desktop 6.1 - I can only find a link to download for XP, but I am on Vista...
The XP version very well or is anyone know where are the address for download of Vista?
Thank you, Nick
I don't think that there is a version of Vista. Do NOT use the XP on Vista version - it can cause all sorts of problems, not only with remote desktop, but with all of the operating system - possibly to the point where you may have to reinstall the whole system.
Vista includes the remote desktop (on some versions, but not all). Here's how to enable it:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/. Why should you get this particular version? What you try to do that the version of Vista can not do? If you have a version that doesn't include remote desktop, there is no download to add it to this version.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

I installed Adobe Application Manager, it updated itself to Creative Cloud?
Hello, I assumed erroneously that the Adobe Application Manager icon was to check the updates to Photoshop CS6, but it is indeed to launch the Setup program for the application manager that automatically updates to Adobe Creative cloud.
I'm not a Subscriber CC, I have a local installation of Adobe Photoshop CS6, I can uninstall safely creative Cloud?
Is not serious anyway. The CC app is the new AAM.

If the Office programs are preinstalled on your computer, you will need to contact the manufacter of the computer to see if you have the product key to reinstall on your computer.
Otherwise, since they have been deleted, you will need to reinstall using original diskettes or purchase need office products.

Please contact the Support of the note. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this error, but it seems by the error message that you install note on a Windows 7 computer. This error is caused by a Microsoft security update that was released in July 2011 for Windows 7 and caused upward to change our software. Here is access to our Download Center for you to install the version 8.4 of note. You will use your current serial number, license key and authentication code.They then provided a link to their Download Center where I could download 8.4E - mailer to * address email is removed from the privacy * and they will answer you.

Creating Office cloud could not update
Hello, I have the subscription of the CC of the photograph and use Photoshop a lot. I needed to make a few quick settings a clip video and discovered that I could do this easily in Lightroom. I pulled up to Lightroom for the first time and updated. He'll do anything I want!
Then it happened to me that I had not been see CC updated. I tried to open the creative cloud application and he began to install an update. It stuck at 2%, with a caveat. "Creating cloud Office could not update (error code 1002). I clicked on help, but haven't seen anything specific that would help me right now. I searched the forum and found this discussion: Creative Cloud desktop could not be updated. What should I do? The correct answer was a bit terse. He says "reset preferences" as long as this link:the help of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom | Set preferences for working in Lightroom.
I followed the instructions in "Restore default Preferences" and remove "Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs. I restarted my PC, but Cloud Creative still will not start, tried to install a updated and always stops in the same place.
It's probably not supposed to be rocket science, but I am confused. I'll be very grateful for some advice on this.
