I could not believe how Windows 8.1 failed to install on a computer that has a factory-installed Windows 8.
I’d have to wipe the hard drive again and use the system-restore discs on this computer.
The Trouble with Windows 8
It seems a lot of people having issues with Windows 8.x. Somehow it is impossible to refresh/reinstall Windows 8 because the drive was “locked”.
There are a lot of suggestion on what to do in solving this issue, but none of them seems to be the solution.
Windows 8.1 Update
The naming system is a bit strange, if you think about it.
Windows 8.1 Update is now available.
I have just updated two computers running Windows 8.1 and I have not had the chance to see the important changes on this Update.
