Thanks to the Windows8 forum "depressed shop small two" friends share, the author of this article shared some experience and skills to install Win8, I hope to help more friends to solve Windows8 installation, driver installation, use skills and other issues. The following is the original, forum post address: Click to go to the forum post.
day trial Win8, now put some of my installation system, drivers, tips, software compatibility and everyone to be shared
(1) installation of the system
No. 15 Finally downloaded the WIN832 bit development preview version, immediately found a machine to start the installation. The whole installation process and Win7 are not much different, I feel that Win8 package still uses Win7. However, the startup screen has changed, and it feels very simple and generous.
hard disk installation: then they find another machine, the downloaded ISO files to the D drive, hard disk installed by a little, a lot faster speed.
share below steps:
first Windows8 is prepared to unzip the file to a hard drive folder
example: E Windows8 disk folder (e : Windows8)
now install the system, please see the details, more than ready, restart the system, press F8 to enter boot - computer repair, wait a minute, the system loads, go after you can see command to break the window, the window is open and the same DOS window
input you just extracted Windows8 Road King
E in the window: /Windows8/sources/setup.exe (Hint: remember live is '/' is not right oblique)
here on almost all the same, and then begin installing this mode you can format the hard disk and choose the installation partition
(If you want to have friends in Win8 under the hard disk to reinstall, you can also use this method above, but the interface has changed, but also the boot press F8)
Finally, when installed Win8 start the configuration information, you will be prompted to select whether to log on to WindowsL IVE. If you can network friends, you can try to log in to this mode. This is a bit of a benefit. Simply put, it's a bit like the current browser, such as the Sogou browser's sync favorites. When you reinstall the system or change the machine, your favorites can be retrieved through synchronization. Win8's LIVE mode login will also remember some of your actions, such as desktop wallpaper, some level of settings. Still quite good, recommend everyone to use.
(2) driven installation
fact WIN8 comes with the drive is very new, and I found the driver genius driver update, a closer look at Win8 version number has not yet provided high . So if the important drivers are all driven, there is no need to install them.
to some of my friends say, sound card, video card drive is not on, you can try Win8 comes UPDATE, my sound card drivers and touchpad driver UPDATE update on the adoption of good.
Important: If the machine is A card, update the driver in time to pay attention, do not install the ATI console only install the driver on it. Because Win8 can't install the .Net that the console needs, I installed it for the first time, and the result is an error every time I turn it on.
(3) Win8 some tips
1, shutdown restart, friends can use: WIN key + i key, then the right side of the screen appeared a shutdown icon.
2, the new Metro interface is gorgeous, but many of my friends can not find the settings. Right click in the program, the relevant settings will pop up below.
3, many of my friends say that Metro will complain in the weather forecast, I found that if you have been into the network during the installation of Win8, the error will not. Or just adjust the Celsius, put the mouse in the lower left corner of the screen, and select the settings in the pop-up menu. Also, if you want to add a city, you must enter it in full spell. There is also a right click, the rightmost button can also choose to display by date or by hour, very useful features!
4, the input method is very annoying, frustrating for a long time. However, the pinyin that comes with WIN8 is quite good, I recommend everyone to use it. But you need to install it manually, open the input method settings, and click Add in the upper left corner. There is also a switch input method, changed to: WIN key + space. It seems that Win8 has begun to pay attention to the WIN button that has been unknown. We can do everything with the WIN key + 26 letters. It is impossible to find new features!
5, quickly switch each window: put the mouse on the far left of the screen, click the left button.
6, boot picture and user can also change the LOGO, click the Metro interface settings.
7, Metro where IE10, I like, full-screen feel good. If you want to close or add a window, right click on the top button and it will pop up.
8, in use IE10 this day, the collapse of many times. If friends also come across, you can go to the control panel - Internet Options - Advanced - click reset, IE10 will return to normal.
(4) application software compatibility testing
available software:
Microsoft antivirus MSE, Tencent TM2009, GoogleChrome browser V15, Fetion 2011, Ali Want, Kingsoft, thousands Thousands of listening, storm video, Thunder 7, Thunder look, Flash11 web plug-in, driver wizard, cool dog, Mito look, PPTV.
not use the software:
Sogou browser (corner showed a BUG, a high-speed crash when switching)
Sogou input method (not shown in the MetroIE10 in)
WPS (running unstable, crash when the associated IE)
cool music box (upper right corner of a black screen can not be displayed)
I used the 360 anti-virus and Kingsoft, even though it can installation, but some can not point options, so it is recommended that you use Microsoft MSE own right
QQ games hall (the list of games brush does not come out).
QQ2011 (group chat feature sometimes crashes)
above these are my own used some software, you may also not comprehensive enough, I hope to share with my friends found!
I saw some of my friends can not say that a security software, but nothing else. I also encountered stuck in the installation of Fetion and QQ, but restarted the computer again, and then installed it is OK! So if friends encounter, you can restart and reinstall, maybe it will be fine, maybe it is the BUG of Win8.
Well, first wrote here, because only one day, there are many incomplete, we hope that more exchanges!
