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.

Windows 8.1 x64 and x86 all in one, you can put a stich of 8gb?
The man went x86 placed, but not AiO. Receive a soft error when I try to put it on the stick. I'm tired of always walking with 7 DVDs with Windows for me.
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) of at windows then my desktop is black and it doesn't show me that it loads absolutely nothing. I left him for an hour or so and he didn't make any gestures (from time to time he gave a sign that he was reading from the DVD and the DVD-RW light was 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 the computer has old hardware, or it is not written or read properly.
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.
hi.congratulations for tutorial.pt Ionutzzz see that you have no error on the dvd. suspect that it does not read dvd with windows 8. try another dvd .or do the same regardless of the operating system ?. if yes it can be the 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)
computer is older model?
video card under 256 mb, gb RAM under 1, 1,5 gigahertz processor under hard drive ata old model?
then give up installing windows 8 8.1 not to say do not go.
I tried on an older computer (windows windows 7 8 went but not
You do not get discouraged trying to make a stik with Windows 8.1
RAM 1 GB processor 1,60 Ghz video card I do not know exactly but more than 700 MB ... so what is the cause?
I managed to install windows 8.1 but how? the only way was to put it over windows 7 .... I skip the partition part ... dc?
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 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 the 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 master cooler of 460W, it has all kinds of protections on it ... well I took it from a friend , on the internet it is 230 lei, and I gave 120 lei. Finally, I solved the problem, it was from poorly installed drivers ... I download the dirver to the video card from the manufacturer's website .... after 2 days l I caught a friend free, 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. made a small difference, at windows update the dirver had 214MB, on the manufacturer's website it had 189MB, and on the genius driver 240MB. Windows 7 on 64bits, it works now. But my components are a few years old :)). So switch to win8.1 32 consume less.I thank you for the advice.Bft !!
