have you updated to windows 8 for windows 8.1?
my app store offers a free update to windows 8.1. I currently have windows 8. I don't know I need or you want to upgrade to windows 8.1. I ask you to positive or negative results of the people who made this upgrade.
Have you had problems with your antivirus program? On the Forum Avast and Microsoft Community Forum, I have seen several problems with antivirus programs are disabled or removed. This is my major concern, I should have said it better in my original question.
See if there is a clue in this thread:

I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it. How to return windows 7?
I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it. How to return windows 7?
Hello
Clean, install your Windows 7 Media 7 or restore the Windows 7 System Image that you did before upgrading Windows 8.
If you don't have that:
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).
If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.
If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.
Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.
See you soon.

I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail.
I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail. It seems that whenever a program tries to update the external HARD disk where backups reside it requires administrator permissions.
Looking at the options Microsoft suggest that their user account control system is not supported by my version of SyncToy. What can I do? I'm looged administrator
As you have installed SyncToy until you have created the required permissions, uninstall SyncToy, reboot, then reinstall SyncToy.

I have just updated to windows 10 and I have no sound, everything else works fine
I have no Audio, sounds or volume afte the update/upgrade of Windows 10. This is NOT the case yesterday when I don't have Windows 10 update/upgrade in my laptop Vaio from Sony. Everything works very well, is to take a mouse of logitech usb among other things. My Audio jack does not work for headphones will not do. I found an old usb headseat PS3 seems to work, according to this logic, a set of usb speakers would do the same thing. If you have a HD cable you can connect your laptop to an HDTV and use the TV speakers. What can I do to solve my audio problem?
Go to control panel > system and security > system and to the left, click on advanced system settings. Once there, go to the Advanced tab, and under performance, click settings. Then, click on the Advanced tab, and under virtual memory, click on change. Now, I did uncheck automatically manage it paging file for all readers size and check again, but if this does not work I heard uncheck automatically manage paging file for all readers size and selecting size made on order and set the initial size and maximum size to 3072 should solve the problem. I hope this helps!

Have a W7 RC version. For how long should I updates before is starts to reboot?
I know that on 3/1 it will start to reboot. But patients have the updates of Windows 7 full up here?
Hello kakomanda, welcome.
Please schedule the expiration of the RC. You will get two weeks notice, and then from March 1, 2010, your PC will start to shut down every two hours. The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Updates for the system will remain active until you decide to upgrade or replace the operating system. Updates at a time before that time expire since Windows 7 is already out.
Thank you! Ryan Thieman

All of a sudden my computer does not connect to my HP Laserjet 1000 printer. These work very well together for several years.
Now all of a sudden I get a message that the computer cable is not connected. I tried to charge the printer program.
I unplugged and reconnect the cable to the computer, etc.. The system does not work.
I learn by two other people, who have automatic updates of Windows, they had the same problem. We have a Kodak
printer and the other has a Lexmark printer. This makes me think that the problem is in the updates of Windows.
So, what should I do to fix this? I'm NOT a computer person and I'm confused.

I am trying to upgrade to Windows 10 of my premium course of Windows 7 that I received a message in the toolbar free update of Windows 10 (I am sure others have had it too). I tried several times.
the download seems to work, but the error code comes whwen preparation for installation.

- Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
- Reboot several times and try again.
- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Do a clean boot, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
- If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

Why is my WIFI so slow after update to windows 8?
I have just updated to windows 7 to windows 8. Now whenever I do a speed test I get only like 2 mb a second download speed. Before I was getting about 32 MB dry. I tried the speed test accurate on my other computer with windows 7 and its getting about 32 MB sec. I restarted my router and all the normal things that you would try to solve this problem. I plugged the Ethernet cable on my computer, and that you know 33 MB a dry so there must be a problem with the WIFI driver on windows 8, or something. Does anyone else have this problem. Help, please!
OK, so the only way I could solve the problem was to find the driver for windows 7 and install it instead of one that comes with windows 8. Windows 8, should not have been designed for my Hp. After doing that my internet was again up to 33 MB a s I hope this will help all of you others out there with this problem. Run a speed test on speedtest.net to make sure that
