It isn't easy! But I came(installed Windows 8 , I saw(activated) & I conquered(enabled .net framework 3.5). After all the hassles, so I can confirm to ya'll Windows 8 ain't processor sensitive. Q.E.D. Piece of cake with my AMD. Thanks @moonraker et al for your assistance. |

So I managed to rectify the AMD problem. Turned out it was a driver issue, and I only just had to download...oh...about 200MB-worth of graphics drivers. Shame on you, AMD! Anyhoo, LSS, the guys can now enjoy my Prometheus in full 1080p. |

Ran into a little hitch last nite and when all efforts to resolve it proved furtile, I re-installed Windows 8 Enterprise. Downloaded the KMSNano 9 activator by Murphy78 recommended by SimonAndal from PirateBay thinking it was a full activator but on using it, my windows was activated for a time-limited period of 180 days (6 months) ONLY. So I went to my warez forum, obtained a working MAK Key, put a call through to Microsoft via skpe and I was activated in a jiffy . @ SimonAndal, that your windows 8 pro activation go expire by June o. . . .better activate it permanently now |
Re: Windows 8: The Thread by Nobody: 3:08pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
I know, I'll just re-activate it when it does. |
Re: Windows 8: The Thread by Ifebazz(m): 6:38pm On Jan 17, 2013 |

Re: Windows 8: The Thread by moonraker(m): 12:22am On Jan 18, 2013 |

Been a while since i updated this thread. So its start with new discoveries!!! So Office 2013 officially went on sale on January 24th. I downloaded my as a free upgrade. I noticed that if i sign in using my microsoft account in office 2013, i automatically become activated without needing a serial number. Interesting if you ask me |
Re: Windows 8: The Thread by Hotdiamond(m): 10:41am On Jan 27, 2013 |
moonraker: Been a while since i updated this thread.So widows 8 users need not pay for the office 2013. |
Re: Windows 8: The Thread by moonraker(m): 11:55am On Jan 27, 2013 |
Hotdiamond: So widows 8 users need not pay for the office 2013. Thats not worth i ment. However if you bought office 2010 btw august and now, you get a free upgrade to office 2013. |
Re: Windows 8: The Thread by Nobody: 3:14pm On Jan 27, 2013 |
moonraker:That is not such a great idea if it is not going to be a permanent thing. I would rather purchase the Office 20013 than upgrade 2010. That means when I do a new installation I have to upgrade. Is the upgrade continuously going to be upgraded any time you want? |

That means when I do a new installation I have to upgrade. Is the upgrade continuously going to be upgraded any time you want? Ok let me clear the air on this. When you get the free upgrade. U get a serial number along with it. Once u sign in into office2013 with ur serial number, the information gets store on MS servers. So even if u reinstalled ur system, u will be automtically activated once you sign in. Catch 22 here is that u can only use the key on one computer at a time. |
Re: Windows 8: The Thread by Bossman25(m): 11:37am On Jan 28, 2013 |
