Windows8.1 will be installed by the Windows Update?

Just bought a new computer... there Windows8... was surprised to see that it was Windows8 and not 8.1...

8.1 will be installed through Windows Update?

If Windows8.1 is installed, can go back you to Windows8 if you encounter problems?

8.1 back the Globe START (far left end of the task bar)?  Does it bring back the block SEARCH PROGRAMS and FILES?

You get 8.1 against the store Windows, instead of Windows Update. You should always run Windows Update first, though, to make sure you have all the updates that are required for the 8.1 update.

8.1 brings a start button (no Vista/7 globe, but a square version) but not the menu. You could always use a 3rd party tool to do this.

And I will leave the answer on returning to 8 to someone else - I have not tried, so I'm not the best Advisor.

  • Windows will work not day after I installed the windows updates.

    The next day, I installed the Windows updates, I turned on my laptop a short Vaio splash screen is displayed and a black screen comes up saying that "Windows couldn't start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "I don't have the installation disc of Windows that it suggests to use the software is preinstalled.  The safe mode and last known good configuration and the start windows normally get Windows running.  It is simply scrolls a list of code and ends with a line crcdisk.sys, goes to a blue screen for less than a second, then goes to black screen.  All the help I could get to address this issue would be greatly appreciated.

     

    If Safe Mode doesn't work no and you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a startup repair or a system restore:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/Perl/select-System.pl?PRODTYPE=1, 24,26,66,9,70,5,72

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    See you soon.

  • I don't have the language packs in my optional updates from the Windows Update - how to install a language pack?

    My hard drive crashed.  It was replaced and the outside company installed the OS for me.  However, I'm in a French country and they had no English operating system share so installed the french operating system without telling me.   I left it as it is that I had to install my other apps in a hurry.  Now, I want to change the language of the OS in English without having to reinstall the operating system.  The MS help Web site gives this page with instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/install-languages-with-windows-update, but I don't get the language packs when I click on "View available updates".  How can I install the English language pack if she does not?

    [1] relative to the first, third and fourth link: already done - the regional formats and input languages to the keyboard/are not the problem

    [2] re second link: that's where I started.  If you follow the links on this page, you get finally to the page I linked in my original post, above.  It says select a languge in the update of Windows

    If the language you want does NOT have a downloadlink on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/languages, what you did (for example, adding input interface & English language keyboard) is ALL you can do with a Vista Home Premium French-language version.

    If you want any display in English, you need to install the English Language Pack , which, as you know, is only available for Vista Ultimate computers.

    Yes, it's unnecessarily confusing and convoluted but WYSIWYG, I'm afraid. You have that would be to buy an Anytime Upgrade from Vista Ultimate, (b) a Win7 Home Premium update (and then an Anytime Upgrade to Win7 Ultimate) or (c) a full-detail of a language version English version of any version of Win7... which will be probably much more expensive than buying a brand new computer with a version of English language of Win7 preinstalled (and good luck finding that in a French speaking country).

    Wish I had better news for you.

    I used the windows update Center yesterday and installed the updates that were for my computer, now my sound does not work. When I try and open "Dolby-Publisher of stars", I get this message:


    Any help tp fix it would be greatly appreciated as im am not very wise computer.

    Will,

    According to the scenario provided it seems that the problem is that you have updated the drivers for the audio device, but you have not updated the application (Dolby Home Theater - perhaps). If you have two choices, update the application to a version more recent or uninstall the installed update which is relevant to the audio driver (through programs and features - updated).
