Hello friends, in this tutorial we'll see how we can find out if your laptop or our computer with peripherals (webcam, printer, scanner) and software Preferred are compatible with Windows 8.1 where we plan to do Upgrade this release.
Microsoft comes to our aid through the Windows Compatibility Center by providing us with an executable "WindowsUpgradeAssistant.exe" that can be downloaded and run. Its role is to scan the installed software and the hardware in the computer or laptop on which we run the executable and at the end of the scanning process to see if your favorite software and hardware will be compatible with the new version of Windows 8.1
If you have peripherals such as a printer, webcam, USB game controller, scanner, multifunction, you can connect them to your computer before running the "WindowsUpgradeAssistant.exe" executable downloaded from the Windows Compatibility Center and after the scan is complete, the executable will tell you if the connected peripherals will be compatible with Windows 8.1
Windows Upgrade Assistant is a useful software that helps us to find out if your laptop or computer are compatible with the new operating system Windows 8.1 and so we will not need to waste time on installation of Windows 8.1 later to determine that we have no driver available for a particular hardware or our favorite app does not work on this version of Windows.

adrian windows8.1merg all games on me and I put my lam installed a game called farming simulator2013 and he says when we entered the last driver shader model3.0 something like .. so I appear on windows7 but I knew what I had no video card instalato and go but windows8.1 not work what to do? windows8.1 not think that is good for gaming.
Install the latest video driver is most recommended either AMD / ATI or NVIDIA Geforce either. If there is only Shader Model 3.0 means that your video card does not support OpenGL 3.0.
I had the same problem with a game on an NVIDIA board. I uninstalled the official drivers and installed with Windows Update after which it works. I don't know why…

Hi… Can anyone help me? Please. So, I try to install windows 8.1 ENTERPRISE as in the tutorial made by Adrian and he writes me normally Press Any Key to boot from CD or DVD or something like that… .I give enter or anything and I get the logo (or as it is called) from windows then my desktop turns black and it doesn't show me that it loads anything. I left it for an hour or so and he didn't make any gestures (from time to time he would give a sign that he was reading from the DVD and the DVD-RW light would come on) but that's it. But doesn't it seem normal to me to leave him for an hour or so and nothing happen? What is the problem? Please kindly if you can help me because I have no idea. Thank you very much 🙂
Either computer hardware arevun old or cd is not written or read well.
I had no WinXP booted from CD :))) dvd me please :))) I gave a little program scan of the tutorial sus.Mda, optical drive is IDE socket, scart of ala wide :)). Now I want to install.
salut.felicitari for tutorial.pt IONUTZZZ see you have no error on dvd. suspect that Windows does not read dvd to another dvd 8.incearca., or do the same regardless of operating system?., if so may be reading unit .
Windows 7 reads it perfectly… Windows XP perfect and Vista the same..but at 8 and 8.1 as I said above… .especially at windows 7 it reads it very very fast without any problem. What is the cause? even today I left it for about an hour and a half with the DVD that had Win 8.1 enterpise on it..the windows logo appeared then it gave a sign to DVD-RW that it was reading from the DVD (that is, that LED lit up and it was known that read then stopped and total silence on DVD-RW)

Hi, I also have a problem with the pc sorry if I posted where I shouldn't, I noticed that the site / forum above with "problems" gives me system errors. The problem is as follows, the pc freezes and freezes. and simple if I listen to the music bar and my HDD freezes it doesn't work bluscreen I don't get it, I left it like this for 2 hours to see what happens, nothing stays like that until I give it a manual restart. I changed the source with a 460W master cooler, I don't know what to do them, a little help from you if possible.components: ASUS M2V-MX-SE motherboard processor AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400 +, 3GB ram, new nvidia GT520 2gb video card, new HDD 250GB 16MB Buffer.
well the problem can come from any component; no one will realize than you, or if you go to you who repaired it can come from repara.Problema processor for example you said PC freezes
(This happens when Heat)
Another problem could come from the video card incompatibilities can not be supported well by
processor if the video card is you then it will be compatible with AMD and Nvidia, if the
an Intel proc this is known. You can also try something else —–change memory cards between them
That's what I was thinking, but temperatures higher than 35 and 40-44 in games. I changed the source with a 460W master cooler, it has all kinds of protections on it… bn I took it from a friend, on the internet is 230 lei, and I gave 120 lei. Finally, I solved the problem, it was from poorly installed drivers… I downloaded the dirver to the video card from the manufacturer's website…. after 2 days I caught it freely on a friend, and I asked him to install my drivers, he is a little more skilled than me. He advised me in the following way… to put the drivers with a genius driver, that's how he learned to install them. I also made a small difference, at windows update dirverul had 214MB, on the manufacturer's website it had 189MB, and on genius driver 240MB.Windows 7 on 64bits, it works stas now. But my components are a few years old :)). So I switch to win8.1 32 consume more little.I thank you for the advice.Bft !!
Hi, can you help me and I put windows 8.1 and I have a problem… I have no sound it shows me that it is installed but it is not heard in headphones. I mention that they have a sound card onboard realtek ac 97 parca. From what I read they are not compatible with windows 8.1, when running the compatibility test did not give any error to the sound, there may be some program something I can make the sound. Hello.

Hi, I also tried with windows compatibility center, it looks good on compatibility… .driver game programs..etc. But above "Compatibility" it says like this: For you to review:
Install app to play DVDs year
Secure Boot isn't compatible with your PC
You screen resolution isn't compatible with snap
I understand that I have to install these devices?… .I had win8 before and I had no problems but I want win8.1.I am waiting for opinions, MS
install an app to play DVDs ——- I think that means installing a software for DVDs
my advice to you (and more than a belief) if you do not use laptop for games as we finish
It's not a laptop. It's a PC with the above configuration, which I said freezes me instantly. That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure… and the resolution phase is that it recommends, for clarity or what?
I give you today I answered without looking above oldest comments
what I intuit and of course give me their opinion for that I would not know if that's so,
on your PC that all the cables are ok drivers all made better, etc.
problem is in bios and there really is not if you've been playing and do not know a guy who knows Chiam make your BIOS settings properly
The problem was with the driver from the poorly installed video card, or I didn't download it completely. And with the bios as you said, I have no problems with it and believe me it's not commendable but I know and I know what role each component has in part even the bios I know is not playable. I updated with the program on the CD from the ASUS update motherboard, plus the flash bios button… I have a good bios adik since I updated it last year it didn't work for me I took out the battery to reset it, when I formatted the HDD completely, and cleaned it of dust. After resetting the bios, I make the following settings, I think you all have them: I put the HDD with DVD-rom in order on the boot device -> I turn off floppy, I think no one has floppy or doesn't use it / I turn on AMD COOL'N QUIET …… + …… .SmartQ-Fan… ..it reduces my noise a lot, plus the temperatures are very low for this old PC …… the processor does not exceed 30-31 degrees, on internet mess..etc., In games 40-45 maximum… .video card 27 without games / with games maximum 30-32…. it's 28-30 base maybe even smaller. These are the bios settings;). Thanks for the help.
I think the best way to flash bios ui is presented by Cristi (after flopy or stick)
but only and only if necessary
I broke a motherboard so
I did the windows update bios (took a restart and has not started at all)
and threw it

you can "link" two haddiscs in the raid for higher performance (read-write at transfer speed

write up in the search box RAID and AHCI

Hello! I installed windows I 8.1.
And I wanted to install "Counter Strike 1.6", but it doesn't work. When I order OpenGL, it closes my game and tells me that this command is not compatible with the video card.
When I 7 windows everything was perfect on the video card and using the same command. Can someone help me?
But the driver for the video card you have installed?
Hello I have an ASUS laptop and had windows on it yesterday I 8 8.1 installs windows and will not let me install the driver from the video card (integrated) Windows 8 .Precizez as he went. I say that this computer does not have the minimum or something. What can I do to install it and cd with drivers and they've got the ASUS website and so I say. Please who knows or who has been in this situation and settle the .We help me thanks!
I think it would help more if you gave some more details. What exact model of laptop. Not only ASUS. Graphics driver is for 8 or 8.1? Maybe it would help if you reproduce exactly the error.
I recommend that you install the video driver through Windows Update. If you don't know how to do this, there is already a tutorial on this topic that you can find with the search box on the top right "installing drivers and language packs through Windows Update"

Try to reinstall Firefox and make them an installation or update your flash player.
At the same time you can use another browser such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.
try doing updates the system (like this one and to slowly take the necessary drivers, video card, sound, network)
then install flash player for IE 10
if you install another browser (mozilla, chrome, safari) will need to install flash player again for that browser (do not forget you install flash, that must be the main browser)
flash player for IE is not the same as for other browsers
very important
check temperatures (CPU, system, video card) if it is ok to change the power supply
I'm happened
I have an older PC (which I use only in games)
after I did reinstall Windows when I got to the browser and flash drivers then out of nowhere he could restart;
