Eeeya, sorry. . .do. Meanwhile, how did the Windows 8 activation go? |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 3:38pm On Dec 26, 2012 |
I activated it alright. Just that I have to use an external mouse now, thereby missing out on the Windows 8 gestures. Devil punish Alps Electric |

Y'all know I was complaining 'bout my touchpad, ba? So I got a generic Alps touchpad with Windows 8 support, and guess what? My PC flat out refused to boot. For over 4 hours I was battling with it. It got to a point I got out my OEM Recovery disc to perform a rollback to Windows 7. I was THAT frustrated. But alas it turned out to be one idiotic virus in the exe file that changed my hard drive function to AHCI from ATA. I was belly-deep in my BIOS trying to work out the kink. I think I did, 'cause it's (the BIOS) now handed over to the OS. Now performing a disk error check. Phew! |

The activate windows instruction and windows 8 pro build 9200 watermark goes away after you activate windows permanently. |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 7:58pm On Dec 28, 2012 |
Yup, that it does! Why? |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Pharoh: 8:09pm On Dec 28, 2012 |
^^ The build 9200 is the release to manufacturing which is sent to pc manufacturers and other developers. Developers will have to activate it using a key given to them by Microsoft while the pc manufacturers will add their usual bloatwares before loading it to their manufactured pc's. The watermark and activate instructions is there to show that it was not suppose to be used for commercial purpose without activation. |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 9:15pm On Dec 28, 2012 |
Yeah...so why're you telling me?  |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by semid4lyfe(m): 7:54am On Dec 29, 2012 |
@ SimonAndal, which activator/activation method did you use in activating the windows 8? Mind giving me the name of the activator and a screenshot of it?  |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 8:37am On Dec 29, 2012 |
Looks like you got hit with ransomware |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 9:45am On Dec 29, 2012 |
semid4lyfe: @ SimonAndal, which activator/activation method did you use in activating the windows 8?_ I used KMSNano v9 |

so ur lappy is sill alive?  |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 9:15am On Jan 06, 2013 |
Yup! And activated. Has anybody tried Xbox Music? Think Spotify, but free. Especially if you've got a Windows Mobile 8 phone or Windows RT tablet. You can take your music anywhere. Free. |

Gonna post a few more screenies....(just to brag about the wifi speeds at my school that most of you can't dream of seeing in your lifetime, chained as you are to EmptyHen and co.

Billyonaire: All these stress cos you dont wanna go buy new lappy with Windows 8 pre-installed ?_ Seems you ain't a techie. There's a joy, for us geeks, in upgrading or customizing your system...giving it a new skin...making your old machine run something new and fancy...sorta like teaching an old dog new tricks. It's not that i can't afford the latest, fanciest device with 8, it's just that joy of getting an ancient Win98 machine to run 8...something many deem impossible...sorta. Geddit? |

SimonAndal: Gonna post a few more screenies....(just to brag about the wifi speeds at my school that most of you can't dream of seeing in your lifetime, chained as you are to EmptyHen and co. you call 3 MB/s fast? |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 12:41pm On Feb 09, 2013 |
Sky-walker:_ Compared to regular internet speeds in Nigeria, yes, it is. Evenn with their so-much-touted 3.5G, the highest speed you're gonna get from EmptyHen is 759-867KB/s. True story. |

Sorry, and which skool is that? I guess it's not here in Nigeria, cos if it is, then I need to buy an admission form instantly.  |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 7:52pm On Feb 10, 2013 |
It's in Nigeria. |

@ SimonAndal, why would you download DVDScr Quality version of Zero Dark Thirty (2.38GB) and Argo (1.37GB) when there are DvDrips and BRrips (720p & 1080p) versions respectively of these same movies with far lesser sizes?  If na 1080p BRRip versions, e for make sense but DVDScr quality version with those enormous sizes, Puhlease! The 720p BRrip version of Argo has been online for like 2 weeks now and it's only 750MB/800MB. The 1080p BRRip 5.1CH version is 1.6GB. Zero Dark Thirty is only in DVDScr but there's a very good watchable version which is just 650MB in size and the best thing is all these movies can be gotten from regular non-torrent sites where you can download with IDM so there won't be clogging of system resources. You're wasting bandwith, time and resources IMO. |

An oversight on my part, I admit. Will rectify pronto! |

| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 9:04am On Feb 14, 2013 |
But I've got bandwidth and resources to waste, so why not? |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Skywalker5(m): 11:10am On Feb 14, 2013 |
SimonAndal: But I've got bandwidth and resources to waste, so why not? Really? |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 11:59am On Feb 14, 2013 |
Yup! School wifi. Downloaded 13GB in 3 days. |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Skywalker5(m): 12:11pm On Feb 14, 2013 |
SimonAndal: Yup! School wifi. Downloaded 13GB in 3 days. . You just made me fall off my chair at work. |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 12:30pm On Feb 14, 2013 |
Lemme re-phrase: 13GBs worth of files in 3 days. |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Skywalker5(m): 12:35pm On Feb 14, 2013 |
SimonAndal: Lemme re-phrase: 13GBs worth of files in 3 days. i was not referring to your English. I was referring to the fact that you bragged about having bandwidth and yet it took you 3 days to download 13GB of data |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 1:10pm On Feb 14, 2013 |
I didn't say within 3 days. |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by kingsilly(m): 7:45am On Feb 15, 2013 |
SimonAndal: I didn't say within 3 days. i downloaded 10GB FILES within 19hours using ma lovely mtn bis wid pc and you are bragging of 13gb file for 3dayz....thatz poor |
| Re: My Upgrade To Windows 8 by Nobody: 11:58am On Feb 15, 2013 |
Man! Can't you guys just get it? NOT ONE FILE!!! And I'm not even emphasizing on the file size, my emphasis is on the data size...and the fact that it's with free wifi. Dunno how else to make y'all geddit. |
