Summary of installing win764 bit system and win8 system

First, in order to expand the system disk capacity and not destroy any of the disk files, Xiaobian made a Ubuntu live CD before installing the Windows system. After the U disk is booted, it enters the trial version of Linux, using the disk partitioning tool gparted. Make a space transfer (Resize) of the adjacent disk of the system disk, and then get a certain amount of unlocated disk space, but the system disk and the adjacent disk space cannot be merged. The problem is as follows:

After the analysis, it was found that the free space that was originally obtained belongs to the extended partition space, and the system partition is a logical partition, so click on the extended, change the partition space, so that the system partition can be merged with the empty space just now.

Second, the small machine is a win 7 32-bit system, want to change to win 8, installed the system also encountered the following problems:

There are two ways to solve this problem:
either switch to MBR boot or replace the hard drive with a GPT partition table. The win 8 and win 64-bit systems are recommended to replace the hard disk with the GPT partition, but considering the operation of the entire hard disk is more troublesome, and the MBR boot generally only affects the boot time of the system, so Xiaobian chose the former. The method is actually very simple, just set the boot priority to the legacy first when the bios is set, uefi first is set for the win 8 quick start.
