Windows 8 download unspecified error

Recently purchased windows 8 via online.

However, the download fails every time because of the unspecified error.
FYI, I currently use windows 8 preview of consumer, but not able to download windows 8 pro
Help, please

Hello venkat23,

You can not put Windows 8 preview of consumer if you use the upgrade wizard in Windows 8. You will need to have a qualifying operating system on your computer to be able to upgrade. Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP are the eligible operating system.
It is probably the reason for the error unspecified you receive.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Windows 7 download - language error unsupported

    I had to reinstall Windows 7.  Cannot find my original disk, but I have a downloaded SP1 ISO probably DigitalRiver.  However I'm having a lot of problems and need to reinstall and decided that the download of a new ISO standard would be a good idea.

    Be able to download from Digital River is not possible so I went to the recovery of the software Page, http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery.

    He rejects my key, who has recorded with happiness and works through windows genuine diagnostics tool.  The message is:

    The product ID you entered is not supported in the country you have selected. Enter another number to identify product or select a different support option below.

    How can I download an ISO?  I'm going along in circles because of this problem, and since it takes a certain time to install & update I will not start until I have a new standard ISO of W7 SP1.  Not sure that I can't find the original disk then download SP1 won't get me very far.

    My version of Windows is an academic, I think that I got a backup drive and used to install it.

    Frustrated by the United Kingdom

    The PC was becoming more & more unstable - obviously problems with the DVD of the House of wood, I installed since.  Fortunately, a LOT of research finally unveiled my drive of W7 of origin and more than 200 updates later that I almost finished installing Windows.

    I can't tell how deeply impressed, I am as not only MS ISO DigitalRiver downloads, but they also provided a recovery software site that will not work for the majority of users who have OEM licenses, not retail.

    I am also very impressed with the club that I build the PC for not keeping the things that I told them to keep.  At least they kept the office discs and access, but GRRRRRR

    If Norton is at fault, then it should be removed using Norton Removal Tool to make sure that it is not really there and conflicting. Disabling/uninstalling standard medium is not enough.

    Download the appropriate software suite tool and run it to completely remove the offending software. Once that is done, try to run the update.

    @ Evanston only!...

    You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).

    See...

    Cleaning a compromised system
         http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
         http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

    VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).

    Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

    All is not lost.

    Download and install a pack of codecs, such as K-Lite (Google for it). You can find THAT WMP can then read the file.

    Or
    Download and install a small program called Gspot (Google it)! Drag and drop in its window one of the files, you can't plzy. It will tell you which codecs are used. You can then download and install the only after doing a search on the web for it.
