OK, I've followed shares and I've managed to instalWindows 8.1 64-bit. I
believe.
The PC seems to say so, from what I can read.
Win8.1 is a completely new experience. I will deal with itin time. Thanks!
I installed using a version sent to me in the purple box (livery) the
was labeled, "Windows 8.1 (full version)."
Fine.
Odd that it booted up and announced "Windows 8.0" to start. Odd. A
forced reboot changed that to "Windows 8.1".
Fine, so far................But................:)
My install does not say it is "Win 8.1 pro" yet. Do I need to
purchase yet another upgrade DVD?
Can doif necessary. I spent 4 hrs today trying to figure out how to
reset the PC's current IP addy
to what I choose it to be, and, install my chosen DNS Server addy's. I
think I got close, but, I failed.
Damn! This new OS is very different. Way to many changed windows. Way to
much new noise.
Fine. I will just learn it somehow.
BTW, the SSD got absorbed really quick and seems to be just cruising
ATM. All future upgrades will
include an SSD. Yes, I have been absorbed.
Thanks Anthony!! It seems the M$ installed anew video driver (v335.23)
for my GT630. I stopped at
protocol #2; and not sure I've really completed this........ Perhaps
tomorrow.
Thank you,
Duncan
