My Windows 7 PC tries to auto-repair on boot without success. I lost my install disk and also the pass key. Ugh.
Contaced MS and they said I could just buy the Windows 8.1 udgrade for 119.99 bucks and it should install now problem (even though it says upgrade from windows 7; not full version). So I ordered it.
Windows still tries to boot thru the hard drive. It doesnt just auto play the install disc.
I tried to change boot drives to my dvd and blu ray drive only to force it to play the disc. I get a prompt to boot from cd press any key.... but pressing keys will not get it going.
I wasnt sure if I should format my C drive first before installing. I did not do that yet.
Any ideas? Or is there more info needed?
Thanks in advance.
