If I purchase the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for $70, am able to wipe out my current Windows 7 and install it clean instead of upgrade from Windows 7 to 8? I've heard/read somewhere that the Windows 8 Po &quotupgrade&quot only works for upgrade and you can't use for a clean install even though you already own Windows 7. If anyone knows the facts, please confirm. My Windows 7 has a lot of junk in it. I do not want to carry those over to Windows 8 with only an &quotupgrade&quot and not clean install. Thank you.

Hello, I've just bought UPS. It has an option that if the battery goes down, it shutdowns the computer. I tested it, and instead of shutting down, the computer restarted. So I checked the command &quotshutdown /s&quot in cmd, just to check if there is a problem in the UPS, and the command does a restart too. The computer seems to be shutting down - even the message on the screen is &quotShutting down&quot - but after it finishes, it just restarts the computer instead of turning off the power... Does anyone else have this problem with the shutting down command via cmd? Thanks, Guy View the full article

My Windows and Macrium PE image backups fails. Hours &amp hours wasted.I tried Fix-it a few times - not successful - tho I could be wrong about that. I just don't know of a way to find out the reasons why. Microsoft says its a Windows Update error.I did a restore as far as I could go back and re-installed the latest 13 January updates.I was successful with a Windows image backup - I only think so is I put the security setting from one notch from bottom - to the bottom.But I have no idea if I just did a work-around. I next tried to do another image backup with Macriium PE which failed when nearly finished.The thing is I had put the security back up one notch again.I never had any backup up problems before with either backup programs.I would like to have some help to be able to verify the Windows Update error with file: 0x80070002 (3 for last digit - MS takes both into consideration.I will appreciate anyone's help to fix and verify the fix.I am not quite a beginner and do not have an advanced knowledge of computer.HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium 64bitI have been using my internal hdrives for USB backups - using XP hard drives - have been doing this many times previous.I will appreciate anyone's help with this...sincerely101ron View this thread

I have found a problem with Windows 8 automatic updating. I have my PC set to receive updates automatically. I will be working in an app and it will stop responding, or I will be typing on my Bluetooth keyboard and it will stop working. If I look in Charms Settings&gtPower, I will see that there is an update waiting to be installed. If I restart and install the update, the app and or Bluetooth keyboard will work. There are several workers in my office that have a similar problems where a update in waiting will stop an app from working. An fixes out there? View this thread

Hi there, I have Windows 7 installed on my Dell laptop. It came with W7 installed, and did not ship with any backup/installation disks. I have since reinstalled Windows 7 using a friends Dell Windows 7 DVD which he had shipped with a Dell PC. All went well and I was able to reinstall, get my drivers etc no problem, but as a result I no longer have my Dell backup partition. However I would now like to reinstall Windows again. I will be getting the DVD off my friend again and using it. However I would like to know some things. Can I create an ISO of this disk and burn it to my own blank DVD? so I won't have to ask him for the DVD if I decide I want to install again. If not, is there anyway I can get a copy of Windows 7 for my own use? I have my Windows 7 license key, and it is a genuine copy, from Dell. Thanks. View the thread
