Windows 8!!!

[acash09]

Hey guys! Anyone installed Windows 8, yet? I tried the Release Candidate and the Consumer Preview and found that my computer was 60% faster!!! Today I bought it online and it is just awesome!!! At last I can play angry birds on my laptop!

If anyone did, let me know what if you like it (or not)..

Take a look at my Start "Screen". No longer a start window at the bottom left... Just a screen with your app on it. And of course, the normal windows desktop (seen in the bottom left).

Been using it when it was released to MSDN users... Loving it! The boot up times, even more better with SSD. People still want the old start menu though. I did use Start8 for the first few weeks.

Okay, so can I upgrade mine (for free, of course)?

If you bought a new laptop or PC in the past couple of months, you could get an offer to freely upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8, or you could just buy it for $40. (But there are other, illegal ways of obtaining it of course, and I will not discus them here, hint: torrents)

That will still cost $15 even if somebody has a legit Windows 7. There are isos available over the internet patched with the upgrading option for free, but they are too early in the development as the retail isos are just out. So better wait, or go with a clean install and use the activation method which works for 180 days. By then a proper crack will be up.

I searched online and found that the RTM (release to manufacturing) version was out since 15 oct. You could download that and use the 180 day activation method until a permanent activator comes out. Or just buy an authentic version online.

Download the required driver for Windows 7 32 or 64 bit as required. Just plug in the printer, make sure its ON and then run the driver installation. Windows 7 driver should work fine for now.

 

[CaptainDanger]

Printer model? Are you using 32 or 64 bit?

 

[CaptainDanger]

In fact Windows 8 driver is up for it. Download and as I said in my previous post to plug in the printer and run the downloaded file.

You are not using any proxy, are you? If not then try changing the browser.
