Is your keyboard missing all punctuation marks or are you simply too lazy to use them? Shift key seems to have problems too... And last but not least, everything is written in bold, turn that off. And if you have a windows 8 dvd it will pick up your bios key and activate. If it came with 8 and you try installing 8.1 you'll need to provide a dummy key during install and enter your real key after installation.
Better to do a full reformat when needed without OEM OS, it's full of bloatware almost all the time. You can use leaked or released "clean/bloatware free" Windows OS.
exactly, that's what I do with all laptops, format them as soon as I open the box give me the link to your laptop's page and I will create the guide for u, step by step from a to z with the correct order of doing things
I hate such people! come here asking for serious help then people like us take time to reply and explain and I even offered to make him a full clean install guide specific for his laptop and not a word! I think these people register on MDL, post a thread, then go into a comma for an unknown period. No other explanation
Hey everyone sorry for taking so long to reply back I had to go out of town. Thanks for all of you guys help. I Downloaded the asus backtrack app. Today im going to find the link on asus site for my laptop.
