its really nice to see so many trying to help with mirrors etc. So much better than 2 people with 2 million screaming "I want I want!". Thanks james!
So many People have helped me on here over the years, I just wanted to give something back to this great Digital Life Community! PS: Anyway for all this hard work sorting out this ISO mess for everyone, can I get some Gold Guru Cups like you!
Anyone had any problems with this update, regarding x64 applications not running correctly? Ever since the update was installed through windows update, most of the x64 programs I had installed such as VLC player and Office 2013 simply crash as soon as I start them. Reinstalling the programs doesn't help either, but switching to an x86 version does work. I'll probably reinstall windows anyway but just wondering is all.
No Problems Here, I reinstalled with the Final MSDN ISO! Do a Clean install, then install the latest drivers for your system followed by all Windows Updates and all should be fine. PS: If you have a UEFI bios, then turn on secure boot and enable UEFI, your system will run much better and faster.
Interesting. I thought I was in UEFI mode but when I checked my setup on my Thinkpad it was set to "Boot Legacy BIOS first". When I switched it to "Boot UEFI Only" it wont boot. Does UEFI need to be enabled before Windows is installed?
But if your BIOS is still set to UEFI then your need a UEFI bootable USB with the right edition of Windows. It should repair the current installed Windows and make it boot as UEFI, if not just put the BIOS back to Legacy Boot.
Actually there's no way to repair the boot. The HDD is either in MBR/legacy mode or in GPT/UEFI mode. The only way to go from legacy to UEFI is to diskpart, clean disk convert GPT, only then can you install UEFI mode. (By using DVD, or USB formatted as fat32,USB ntfs won't work)
Did you know with a 32 Bit OS installed on a Quad Core processor it will never run at Full performance. Any more than Single Core and with at least 2GB of ram, you should always install a 64 Bit OS. Unless its XP, but with no support now who would install XP. I Recommend:- Single Core = min 1GB of RAM running Windows 7 32 Bit. Dual Core = min 2GB of RAM Running Windows 7 or 8, 8.1 64 Bit. Quad Core = min 4GB of RAM Running Windows 8 or 8.1 64 Bit. Six Core = min 8GB of RAM Running Windows 8 or 8.1 64 Bit. Eight Core = min 16GB of RAM Running Windows 8 or 8.1 64 Bit. For best CPU performance you should have a minimum of 1GB per processing Core. For Ultimate performance Eight Core CPU,s really need a 128 Bit OS, come on Microsoft get your fingers out! Rumours go that Windows 9 with be 64 Bit and 128 Bit only NO 32 Bit anymore, for real by the way.
