• HOW CAN I UPGRADE WINDOWS 8 FOR WINDOWS 8.1 PRO.

  How can I know the product key to install the features?

  Note: Tests of Windows 8.1 Preview (warning)

  It was clear that test the preview Windows 8.1 will not as simple and involve certain prerequisites.

  Do not install it on a machine or production start-up disk.

  Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus reiterated this message in the RT in the session of the company Tuesday. When the preview 8.1 is available, Windows 8 and Windows RT users will receive a notification from Windows Update. This update will trigger the new bits will appear in the Windows store, where potential testers will be able to read the description and choose to install or not.

  Once the final versions of Windows 8.1 are available, after their release to manufacturing, those who have downloaded the preview will get the same Windows Update and the Windows Store notification. While their data and their accounts will be kept if and when they choose to install version 8.1 free, final, all their applications must be reinstalled, said Niehaus.

  Even if the testers are opting instead to restore their Windows 8 devices after you install the bits of the preview, they will still have to reinstall their applications once they move to the RTM of Windows 8.1 version.

  Windows 8 users who do not install the preview build and opt instead to go directly from Windows 8/Windows RT for Windows 8.1 will not reinstall their applications. All parameters, data and applications will be postponed, a spokesman said when I asked. Users will be able to decide when and if they want to switch from Windows 8 and Windows RT to the 8.1 versions, officials stressed.

• How to find a Windows Update for Intel Management Engine 7.0.0.1144 / 7.0.0.1118

  Intel has already been removed and a bunch of old device drivers and so I collect a set of the most appropriate for reasons of safety for my W-7 64-bit systems. Only I can't find are Intel Management Engine 7.0.0.1144 to DZ68BC and 7.0.0.1118 for DH67BL. I searched on intel.com, but found nothing. Downloads of Intel has two inputs, 8.1.0.1248 and 8.1.0.1252, with these with the support for the 2nd and 3rd generation processors, but I would find those 2nd generation only. I know they exist because Windows Update offers you with the exact name being "Intel management engine components." My question is, how do I get a non-Microsoft Update? I searched the place "Intel Management Engine 7.0.0.1144" on Microsoft.com, but all this of I found was the following link that allowed me it in my cart. It was not clear what I do after that. http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/ScopedViewInline.aspx?UpdateId=c2227b13-0d0c-488a-967e-4c21969e2fce

  Go here for 7.0.0.1144

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/21927/Intel-me-7-management-engine-driver-for-Intel-Desktop-Boards

  Select to see the basket, then download.

  You can get it here 7.0.0.1118. It is in the form of an .exe (R292194.exe) file, but you can use 7zip if you want to extract its components.

• How to negotiate in Windows 8 for Windows 7?

  I bought a new laptop and at the same time bought computer Windows 8.  This is a nightmare and I really need a working computer.  Is not only the email limited in what I can have up to at the same time, I can not find how to do things I used to do it in just a few clicks.  I am an author/editor of technology and I spend so much time looking for buttons or drop-down lists that I can't get anything done quickly.  Word is bad, but e-mail and structure screen is terrible.  Also the email keeps blocking to top everything I send attachments.  I can receive but can't send.  Dell support has been great for helping solve the problems over and over again, even when it's not a problem of Dell, but rather a problem of software of MS, but MS tech support has no value.

  I want to get rid of Windows 8 and return to Windows 7 on my new laptop.  Is there some kind of warranty on this piece of junk software?

  Simplistic: You do not have.

  Details:

  Only on Windows 8/8.1 PRO comes with the "downgrade rights" and unless you already have a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional license lying to the subject - you need to buy something to supplement this methodology too.

  So in the end - if you want to replace Windows 8/8.1 with Windows 7, you will buy a copy of Windows 7 (OEM is everything you will find now) and install it from zero yourself.  You better be sure that the manufacturer of the supra system supports Windows 7 first well: drivers for hardware devices for card mother/chipset, video card, sound card, card (s) network and all the other things that came with it or you connect (webcams, printers, scanners, etc.)

  Microsoft Office Word has nothing to do with Windows 8/8.1 vs Windows 7.  Obviously, you have changed to a newer version of what you may have been used in this way?  Microsoft Office 2007 has introduced the system of 'Ribbon' top - 2010 had updated minor of that same system - 2013 went virtually colorless, but kept most of the things Ribbon.  (365/2013 - practically the same thing.)

  Dell was not obliged to put Windows 8/8.1 on it and they still sell a lot of Windows 7 systems.

  In any case, I would suggest some reading of this discussion )<-- linked,="" at="" least="" the="" first="" post)="" and="" see="" if="" you="" cannot="" 'modify'="" windows="" 8.1="" in="" such="" a="" manner="" that="" it="" becomes="" more="" familiar="" (windows="" 7-like="" is="" possible)="" to="">

  If you use Microsoft Office 2013 - this discussion will help quite well. ;-)  Maybe this could:

  Ask yourself if the threat is true or false, or if Windows Defender is real or fake? Windows Defender is part of Vista, but that does not mean that you use. You have the WD green icon in the notification area? What is the program that signals the threat? What was the name of threat?

• Using the Windows 7 OEM key for sale at retail of Windows 7

  Hello

  I don't like the pre-installed items that come with the OEM of Windows versions. I'm now download Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1 ISO in Digital River (which as far as I know is official mirror, and this is legal, please correct me if I'm wrong). I have a product key on the bottom of my laptop I try to use. I'm not sure however if it works or not, half of the research I did indicate this will work, and half what it won't, so I ask here again. Is this possible? or I won't be able to activate windows?

  Thank you
