News/Discussions: Windows 8.1 RTM Build 6.3.9600.16384

Don't use usb3 boost until Asus releases an official version supporting win8.1 rtm

 

I had the same problem yesterday. my 4GB wasn't big enough for the new 8.1 x64. But the 8.1 enterprise x64 and all x86 fits. 4GB Patriot Xporter XT using Rufus 1.3.4. I know we cant activate 8.1 Enterprise yet but is there even a key that will allow the installation?? Thanks

 

Enterprise does not need a key (already has one), you can install with no problem - it wont ask you to enter a key during installation..

 

fine, you do not have to enter a key during install but then comes the hard part: No KMS available atm and keys are very rare

 

Yeap! that is correct.. but you can install it and play with it until then.. so dont upgrade this version until something comes up for it!!

 

Anyone try to activate ***MY2KV today. Worked yesterday but not today.

 

Will won't activate.Tried here

 

Go here. This just worked for me. ****RF9T7 (h**p://pastebin.com//ww8TDCeV)

 

Good thing I went entirely to 8 GB thumbdrives after their last major price drop - their prices falling under $1USD/GB was the writing on the wall.

Even at mere USB 2.0 speeds (G41 chipset) thumbdrives eat optical drives for lunch doing OS installs, period. Being able to install from a HDD emulating either an optical drive or thumb drive would be faster yet - it's something that OS X has allowed since Leopard, and therefore, something I've tested with both Leopard and versions since; however, no version of Windows permits clean installs using that method - yet.

Anyone know the quick fix for the .Net 3.5 install problems? I cant seem to enable it since it has to download additional files.

 

The DISM-script fix for using the Windows 8 ISO works for the 8.1 ISO - mount the ISO (or use the thumbdrive you installed from) before running the script.

 

I get this problem to its from your video card not supporting a SecureBoot Windows LOGO on this MSI board I'm using it never got a update to fix the problem unlike Asus board which boot with a Asus logo.

 

Code:

The .NET Framework package is available under the “sources\sxs” folder of the Windows installation media and if you try to find the framework installer, you will not get it there. You have to use the DISM tool for that.

To install the .NET Framework from the Windows installation media, open the “Command Prompt” in administrator mode and provide the following command:

DISM  /Online  /Enable-Feature  /FeatureName:NetFx3  /All  /LimitAccess  /Source:x:\sources\sxs

 

if you have the ISO on the system Win8 can mount the ISO and make it a virtual drive.

1)Click the ISO for what you have installed on your system, so windows mounts the iso.
2)Open a command prompt (AS ADMIN) and enter

Code:

DISM  /Online  /Enable-Feature  /FeatureName:NetFx3  /All  /LimitAccess  /Source:x:\sources\sxs

See that big red x? change it to whatever drive letter your system gave the ISO when you mounted it. D: E: F: G: whatever it is, use the letter to replace the x. Click enter and wait for it to finish.
