Windows 8 Patch Mgt / Service Pack
Understand from some forums that Windows 8 will not be having the convectional approach of coming out with SP1. How will the patches work for enterprise if there won't be a SP1 release for Windows 8? Can someone from Microsoft verify that this infomation is correct? Does it means, likewise for Windows 7, there will not be a SP2 for Windows 7. It will be taking the same approach as Windows 8?

WINDOWS 7 Home Premium for x64 based system. LAPTOP ALWAYS SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WITH NO PROMPTING WHEN
I recently had to change the hard drive to my laptop. Everything seemed to be working fine. Started to download updates from Windows Updates, and the laptop abruptly shut off, without any prompts. I restart the computer, everything seems to be working fine, but again, when I try to get updates, the laptop shuts off abruptly, with no prompts. I have run all kinds of diagnostics and restart methods, but again, the computer shuts off abruptly when I try to install any kind of update. It also shuts off when I try to run the Windows Experience Index to grade my computer's performance. Can anyone help with this please? I have Windows 7 Home Premium for x64 based systems. My laptop is a Dell Studio 1747. View this thread

I am just ticked with Win 8 pro upgrade.
Hello: Before I go to bed here after messing with this half the night, I can't install Window 8 Pro over the existing Win 8 non Pro on my new Toshiba Satellite laptop. It's ridiculous. I really don't care what's on this HD from Toshiba. I formatted it anyway so it's gone. This laptop has the ability to work with SLAT or virtualization. I need to enable hyper-v which is on Win 8 Pro. But Win 8 Pro will not overlay the existing O/S even after I booted off of the dvd and went through the install process on a format and install from the upgrade dvd. When looking at the O/S description about Windows 8 after the install, it says it just Windows 8 and not Windows 8 Pro. And in the Install Programs and Features/Windows Components, the Hyper-V is not there to install and enable it in the list. And the product key is not the key for Windows 8 Pro. The key is for the Win 8 that was already installed. I think the main problem is during the install process, it never stops and asks for the Win 8 Pro product-key. Whatever is happening, I need to come around this stupid problem. I am tired of it. For now, I am going to bed. What can I do oh what can I do to get Win 8 pro installed on this stupid machine.

Can't see home server on network
I recently installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on my home server. Install went fine and I can connect to the internet. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on my desktop, and the server does not appear on the network. I can ping it by IP address, but not by name. When I ping it by name, it pings a different IP address. I have my IP address assigned by DHCP. What I'm trying to do is enable remote desktop. View this thread

Windows 8 File History/Keep saved versions e.g. 3 months- does this mean that ALL files older than 3
I update and save quite a few files each day, and I can see in File History that there are many saved versions for these files. This would fill up my backup drive fairly quickly, and therefore, I need to reduce 'Keep saved versions' from the default of 'forever' to about 3 months. But does this mean that all files older than 3 months will be deleted my File History backup? What happens to all my files that have only ever been saved once, but are older than 3 months? Are these retained in File History or deleted? The forums on File History do no make this very clear. View the full article

Windows 7 public folder icon missing
Hi All,I see this problem has affected many people but what fixed their problem does not work for me.I have Windows 7 Ultimate x86, up to date, installed but can not access the public folder unless I go directly to C:UsersPublic myself. I have everything shown and not hidden, except the system files, and no public folder shows up anywhere. No open/save dialog shows the public folder as an option. I even tried registry fixes and they did not work.What am I missing? Where did MS hide the public folder icon and why does it not show as an option in any open/save dialog?Thanks for any help,Charles View the thread
