  • 8 blocked installation of windows to "you need to add your languages in windows 8.

    Hi all

    So I tried to install windows on a computer 8 portable gateway that has windows 7 ultimate. I have a product key for windows 8, but not an installation disc. I used windows on the site Downloader and need the product key but continues to stop at the blue screen "something happened" and it opens Google chrome and going to another blue screen and it says "you need to add your languages in windows 8" on the right is a button 'confirm', but it does not work. " I went into the Panel of control-> system and security-> windows update-> and I've updated all language packs who was there, who took like 3 days. I also clicked on the restore hidden updates and there was nothing there. I can't get past this problem and any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Tim

    So I never found on the forums on how to solve this problem, so I contacted Microsoft support online. I told them that I kept getting the message "you need to add languages to Windows 8" and that they have all been added but would not click "confirm". They have tried, and then eventually told me that I have to do a clean install. I have made an installation disc, restarted the laptop and went in the bios and started with the disc. It was a good cause, I had to wipe the old partitions that used space. Installed and it worked. I ended up spending to 8.1 and after downloading I decided to try to get 10 Windows. I couldn't get the icon to show so I googled this problem and found a way to update without the icon. That and now I have Windows 10. The link below is the page I used, and I hope that this helps someone out there. Good luck.

  • I need to change the folder where download windows updates, I know there must be a way to do this.

    Could someone help me on this issue.

    I need to change the folder where download windows updates, I know there must be a way to do this.

    Updates Windows installation location cannot be changed. Windows updates tend to fix and replace the old files of the system, so it would normally replace a file in the System32 folder.

    This problem could be linked to the modification of system files and Windows components.

    Since you've already tried to uninstall the language packs for Windows 7, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

    If the problem persists, follow method 2

    Method 2: Clean boot material

    Unplug all external devices connected to your system (except the keyboard and mouse) and check if it helps.

    You can also perform a clean boot material to deactivate devices and check if the problem occurs.

    a. click Start and in the start search type in "Device Manager".

    b. in Device Manager, disable the items of the graphics card, floppy disk, network card, Modem and sound, video & game controllers.

    c. right-click on each of the devices and select disable.

    d. restart the computer in normal mode and perform the upgrade.

    Note: After the upgrade to Windows 8, you must activate the devices and update the drivers for Windows 8.

    You can also try to uninstall the language packs for Windows 7 and check if you can switch to Windows 8.
