widows 8.1 reinstall

B3ShO · Aug 28, 2014

Its best to copy all your files off to an external HDD then do a clean install of windows.

tambeshakunt · Aug 28, 2014

Also, why are you reinstalling?

ToineF · Aug 28, 2014

As for myself I never trust any kind of automated back-up system or software. I always have my files on a send HDD (either internal or external). I -clean- reinstall windows and copy my files back if I ever need it.

The only problem is I have to reinstall my softwares. but it's all worth it

ToineF :

Agree

USAFRet · Aug 28, 2014

Agreed. Even with some perfect software, one click on the wrong checkbox....poof, all is gone.

And you should have some sort of backup anyway.

And, if you can't boot into the OS, there are ways to get your data off without any software.

tambeshakunt · Aug 29, 2014

Go to the official Microsoft Windows iso downloader here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only. You will need to have your product key handy.

Otherwise, you can also direct download from here: http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/windows-8-1-download/

Then use http://www.isotousb.com/ to make a bootable USB or use http://www.freeisoburner.com/ if you want a DVD instead.

sorry but , is these version single core - language windows ? because the windows app said it's not a windows key -my key -

If you have encountered a problem in windows 8.1 than keep the cd in cddrive, reboot it, there is a option for repair. Do that it will half an hour or so. If repair doesn't do anything than downgrade it to windows 8. If you put Windows 8.1 again there will be two same versions which will create error and your C drive will be deleted. Repair it or downgrade it..

B3ShO :

What do you mean by single core -language ?? Also, if your key is for Win 8 (NOT 8.1), you need to choose install windows 8 and then upgrade once you are inside Windows.

tambeshakunt · Aug 30, 2014

girinath :

Repair won't help if he has the wrong version of Windows installed. Repair is only if the Windows files are damaged or there are errors with the files.

yup i wrote that in the first post , i am not finding any version of single core - language 64 bit for download - sorry i was camping i had no time to enter the fourm

tambeshakunt · Sep 1, 2014

I still don't understand what you mean by 'single core' ?? There is no such thing and all Windows 64 Bit versions support single and multi core CPUS. Also what 'language' are you looking for?

B3ShO · Sep 1, 2014

tambeshakunt :

this version only support 1 display language

tambeshakunt · Sep 1, 2014

So what are you looking for?

B3ShO · Sep 1, 2014

for a version of sl windows x64 bit , i can't find it any where , so i can use my key on it :v

USAFRet · Sep 1, 2014

B3ShO :

So....after all that back and forth - you want to reinstall your Windows 8.1 OS.
1. Where did the existing OS come from? Preinstalled or something you bought and installed?
2. Why?

i bought a laptop from russia , it was already installed , i just want to change the language to english , but the windows version is single language , so i can't change the display language

USAFRet · Sep 1, 2014

i bought a laptop from russia , it was already installed

I would suggest buying a clean, valid, legal copy of whatever OS you want and installing that.

tambeshakunt · Sep 1, 2014

B3ShO :

Looks like your key is only valid for the russian one then. You will need to buy a new english key if you want to install english. Any other language is the same --- you need the specific key for that language.
