I build a PC and I want to install Windows 8...
How can I do this on my HOME computer with no operating system already installed? I was hoping to get the student version $ 70 on the Microsoft store. I'm going to need the paper copy of Windows 8, right? Sorry, but I am a beginner when it comes to this kind of stuff >.
In fact, what you need is copy retail full version of Windows Pro 8.1 for students, you can buy from the following link:

Its best buy you a copy of the box with the disc that makes it easier to install.
Once you get the software, simply start your computer, insert the CD and boot from it:

Original title: installation of Windows 8.
If you bought a laptop and you want to install Windows 8 Professional, can install you it directly or you must have a base like Windows 7 Stater license?
Hello
The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...
Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...
The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...
Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.
Where should I go from hereHello
You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.
Read about Defender:
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

Please help me I have looked everywhere 4 ideas
Hello codeacer101, according to the specifications on the model of the system that you list, p6512uk, this system was delivered with Windows 7 and is only around the age of six months.
Here is the link to the specifications for the system that you listed. Because this system was delivered with Windows 7, there appear to be no support for Windows XP. You need the Windows XP drivers for all hardware on the system, and I'm not sure you can locate these old Windows XP drivers for this new system.
